Desktop Printing or Your Local Store?

You’ve just been given a digital camera for your Christmas gift and gone crazy taking 100’s of pictures, now that you don’t have to worry about expensive film and processing. But what’s the best solution for actually making prints of them - do it yourself on a photo printer, or take it to your nearest store? News-Leader.com claims that the majority of you are leaving it to the experts:

“The availability of special theme cards and treatments, along with competitive prices, will lead 37 percent of digital-camera owners to use retailers and 15 percent to use online services this year, estimates InfoTrends/CAP Ventures, a Massachusetts researcher.

That’s a big increase from last year, when about 14 percent had pictures printed by retail processors and 9 percent used online services, said InfoTrends analyst Ed Lee.”
