Digital Printing! New 2 this

[psd99]

hi there

I got a new camera
its 6mp quality
very impressed so far

im new to photography and im hoping people on this forum can help me

I understand that its no longer the case where i would have to send off my film in the post to get pictures printed

I wanted to get some pictures printed either off of the net or in stores
how does this work?

do u have any websites for me please?
or any reccomendations or helps/ tips for this

thanks

10cm by 15cm is generally the norm ...

6mp will blow up to A4 fine I'd guess, however just print it whatever size you want I just use the standard digital print sizes that most kiosks print.

Most of the time I use the Windows XP built in photo ordering wizard through Bonus Print - it works out at 10p each. They get posted out the next day and are very good quality. I'd recommend this method

My girlfriend has just bought me that HP Photoprint 335 you refer to above - she got it at Tesco Extra for £39.99 - you can also buy the Tesco heayweight glossy paper there as well.

Been using it over the weekend, it does pretty good 6" x 4" (10 x 15 cm) prints

Here is something which will help you understand the complexities of Megapixels vs print sizes

How do I print photos with names underneath? Can do this in Canon Easy Photo Print BUT only 20/page or 48 etc. HP Image Viewer puts the name ON THE PHOTO. Microsoft Picture it Publishing is an option BUT not very good and hard to line up. Picasa won't do it even though thay told me they were working on it (latest version still only captions a photo but won't print the name). I am desperate please can anyone help? Ardie.
