Question: What is the best way to print out pictures from a computer!?
I want to know what is the best, easiest or least expensive way to print out pictures from a PC!. Or the pros and cons of each would help too!. Should I:

1!. Buy the picture paper myself and print it out myself!? (I don't have a printer so I would have to do it elsewhere)

2!. Go to a walmart or drugstore and have them print out the photos off my thumb drive

3!. Use a website like snapfish or someother picture website

Well personally I like printing the pictures out myself!. But, that's just me!. I have a Epson wide format printer!. I like to just sit at home and if I need a print!. I can just print it right away!. No need to drive somewhere or wait for an online site to ship the picture!. The other reason I like to print at home is, the color profile is match from my computer to my printer!. So what I see on my moniter is what gets printed!. However if you don't have a printer then I would suggest going to Staples, Officemax, Walmart, etc!.!. to print them!.
You have to consider!.!.!.
Going to a store: gas (to and from), the overall price how many pictures you get printed!. 1-100 pictures, 5x7, 8x10 etc!.!. all different prices!. (All stores have different prices)!.
If printing at home!.!.
Since you'll have to buy a printer
Cost of printer, paper, ink!.
(last couple of years, I've been asking for paper and ink for xmas!.)
Printing from a photo site!.!.
Paying for the print and the shipping!.(whatever that may be)

also take in consideration!. Are these photos, just for yourself!? Or are they for customers!? Are you selling your pictures!?
If they are for yourself, you could buy a digital photo frame!. (I have two)!. I love them!. However some pictures I still love to see printed out!.
If you're taking pictures for people (portraits) you can offer the pictures on CD and let customer worry about the printing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't do it yourself, far too expensive, even if you have a printer!. Go to any of the shops and get it done there, unless you want a lot of printouts, than use one of the internet shops!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
