Snap happy on holiday; have 100s of photos to print? If so don't despair because it need not cost an arm and a leg when you look into getting free digital photos online with nothing to pay but the post and package to have your snaps sent out to you!
The beauty of the digital camera and online prints
The majority of people today choose to purchase digital cameras as opposed to the traditional 35mm film camera as there are numerous advantages. One of these advantages is that you are able to upload your photos from the camera or SD card to your computer and then choose a company offering digital photo printing online. There are many sites offering free digital photos to first time customers, it is the companies way of getting you to become a member. Once you see your snaps in glorious vivid colour they hope you will use their service time and time again and pay for it. However there is nothing to say that you have to use their service again!
Typically online companies offer between 20 and up to as many as 50 prints just for the cost of the post and packing. P&P generally costs just a pound or two so you get a real bargain, and some superb professionally printed photos. The prints you get are just as good as the ones you get if you take your SD card to a shop on the high street and you do not have to move from your chair when you decide on digital photo printing online.
Online digital photo printing vs. home printing
Of course you may own your very own digital colour printer that prints photos perfectly, so why would you consider even paying P&P to have your photos printed online? Well you may wish to weigh up the fact that you have to purchase the photo paper, which does not come cheap. Proper high gloss photo paper typically comes in small packs so you could end up paying a small fortune out just on paper, especially if you have a lot of photos to print. Then of course there is the ink. Printer ink is as a rule very expensive, and again you may need a couple of packs of ink if you are printing a lot of photos on high quality. You may also wish to consider how long it will take you to set up your printer and print out the photos, this can be very time consuming and boring. When you take all of the above into account you may see why free digital photos online may be a better idea, for just the cost of P&P.
