Sams club-Picture printing?

Twhit. · 23rd of January 2010 (Sat)

I just bought a D50.Every step I take is new to me.The pictures I would like to print, I am going to send over the internet to Sams Club.Anyone have any tips to get the best prints?I plan on getting a few 8x10's.And a few 5x7's just to get my feet wet .
Or is there any better options?

Thanks for any input?

Sam's Club uses a variety of Epson printers to do their large prints...Fuji printers to do the smaller stuff....the results are pedestrian, but reasonably priced. You could pick a worse place to get your prints done....but you can also pick much better.

Since Sam's club is part of Walmart I would assume they use the same equipment and same training for their photo employees. I only use Walmart because their photo lap is open later than Target and it's only when I need a couple of quick pictures for a family member.

I do now use Costco to print all my online sales and they look as good as the local pro lab and it's 1/3 the price. But I also have to wonder if Costco is any better than Sam's Club... try it out and see if you like it.
