Best/Cheapest place to print 100's/1000's of photos...

[Endless Night]

My wife is determined to get our photo albums upto date (10 years worth !!!)....    SO im looking for a place that can literally print me 1000s of prints for as cheap as possible.....  any one know a 5c print price

Cheaper to just buy a decent photo printer and do it at home?

Probably not... or boarder line at best and will take a ton of time.

If i can find for 5c or under that's my best bet i think, but if i cannot not .. your suggestion might become more appealing... got any recommends on that part ?

Sorry, just bought an all-in-one printer though

They make a continuous inking system that you can easily refill, or replacement cartridges with a fill plug and self resetting chip (resets the "ink low" message).

With edge to edge printing on 4x6 it might be worth checking price stuff. Mine holds like 150 4x6 glossy paper. I suppose I could modify that for more.... printing a few hundred at a time would be as easy as selecting and hitting print.

$50 per 1000 is what your shooting for... depending on how many you are going to print it might be worth pricing a low end AIO or a mid range photo printer.

While doing them yourself does end up being cheaper in the long run, it is horribly time consuming, and the constant trips to the store for more ink can be a pain.

You might keep an eye on the Sunday paper.  About once a month I see Wallgreens running a 5c per 4x6 print special.  I haven't looked to see if there is a maximum number that they will do, but I know I see it every so many weeks in there.

I know my wife has used Shutterfly and Snapfish in the past. They tend to send out super discounts if you sign up for their emails. I know she's gotten at least 2 free photo books so far and a bunch of free prints. If they give out that much stuff (she never spent a penny with them before those offers), I'd imagine their prices are probably good too! Worth a look at least!

good sources thanks.

Shutterfly has a speacil of 9c a print  regular 15c

snapfish has a specail of 8c a print regular 9c.

Wallgreens has a speacil of 10c print on 100+ prints,,, no shipping costs as i can pickup.

still looking for the ellusive 5c print.

I use Shutterfly myself. They do have different pricing depending on the number of prints - more = less. I've had excellent luck with them.

I've also tested Walmart's printing service with good results. They have some other cool flexibility which includes 1-hour pickup at your local Walmart. I don't think you're going to get 5 cent prints anywhere without stumbling across a decent special or coupon code (try slickdeals.net).

Just came across a coupon for snapfish.  Free shipping on all orders and........4.5 cents a print.

http://kollelbudget.com/snapfish-only-4-5-cents-per-photo-print-free-shipping/

Not sure if there is a maximum number you can order, but worth a look and maybe a phone call for sure.
