printing

Ok so I have photo's I want to print at the best quality I can get for a good price, but I don't think I have a very good printer ( I may I don't know its just all in one I bought for a $120) any way what would be the best way to print? should I go to the store and use there machine ( does it matter on store?) or should I use my $120 all in one printer? which is the best option or is there any other options, besides buying a new printer lol

Get them printed on-line. Wal-Mart, London Drugs, and any major photo store will do printing at prices which compare favorably to doing it yourself.

Have to agree with that too.

I've had lots of printers, and my grandad has invested a ton of money in printers too, including some large A3 printers, but none of them seem to compare to the "professional" printers.. although I have had problems with Snapfish (online), in that the photos I got back from them had banding in them. I tend to now send a few prints off to each one that I'm interested in to get a test back of quality before deciding if I'll really use them.

The other problem I have with a lot of them is cropping. lots of them will crop your photos if they are not the same ratio as the printed paper. I use Boots in england at the moment (in store) because I can select each picture on their wizzy computer screen and tell it not to crop my pics, and leave white space. with a lot of the online ones I have to send the image complete with white space at the correct size in order to avoid cropping.
