Photo Printing
At some point, in your digital life, you are going to need some old-fashioned paper photos!
Now we are not suggesting you use basic 6" x 4" snaps to present to your clients, funding organisations or curators - you may well need to spend some money in this area. But - these are great for printing off research images, visual reminders for archiving or just as happy snaps.
Each of these providers want you to sign up to their service and will give you a number of free prints to encourage you, so be smart, sign up to the one you like, get your free print - making sure to check on postage costs as that will be the part you need to pay for - and then you never have to use them again if you don't want to.
We check these listings regularly. The last time we did was February 2012. If, in the meantime, you find anything which isn't correct, just let us know : This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
