I don't have walls enough to hang all the prints I could make there with
the money I've saved by not buying more ink for that stupid Epson printer.
I'm with Ralf. I realised, well over a decade ago, that I had spent a four
figure sum on hardware alone to print a three figure sum's worth of prints.
After a prolonged bout of self-butt-kicking, I discarded the lot and have never
been happier.
When I got back into photography about 12 years ago, I asked a friend
about prints. He said he had them done at Costco, it costs less per
print than doing them himself and they have a better printer than he'd
ever be able to afford. On top of that, they publish the ICC color profiles.
About a month ago, the local Costco closed down their photo center, so
it's no longer a thirty minute wait and a 15 minute drive to pick up
prints. Fortunately, the Costco near my current jobsite still has photo
printing.
There are, however, some advantages to printing myself, such as paper
selection and being able to print any of my images, not just the family
friendly ones.
