At a quarter a print I'll stick with the photo printer but thanks for your input.

Have you found a way for printing them cheaper then that? By my calculations , it's costing me about 54 cents per 4x6 when you factor in the cost of the ink and glossy photo paper.

Well I guess thats why we have different services. I dont have the ability to fine tune everything. I know that I can just drop my Pshoped images on a disk and have them printed in the walgreens across the street or just online. I went through way too many inkjet cartriges trying to get good prints at home from my deskjet 5550

True enough. Having a good quality photo printer makes a difference

I use an HP Photosmart 7550 InkJet printer and Kodak High Gloss 59lb Premium Photo Paper. I buy the paper at Sam's Club for about $22 USD for 75 sheets.

That's interesting that you use Sam's. Perhaps I should try that too. In the past I have bought paper from HP directly and it has been SO expensive. How's the paper quality though? i.e. is it workth the money?

I hate the Kodak inkjet photo paper. It just doesn't look as good as Epson or Canon paper. Its cheaper, I'll give it that. :roll:

Not so sure about that. Best Buy is selling a pack of Epson 100ct 4x6 glossy photo boderless right now for $14.95

Fair enough, I don't really follow Kodak paper anymore since I avoid it.

I've actually been buying paper from Red River Paper. The quality of the paper is as good as any I've seen and the price is great.

Hmmmm $20.60 for 100ct photo satin (66lb) does sound sweet. That Epson sale I mentioned is only for 63lb glossy.
