Online photo prices - how they compare


Photo Marketing Association International, Jackson, Mich., USA, monitors the prices of digital prints at various online photo services and includes information in Newsline International on a quarterly basis on current prices offered by online photo services for U.S. customers. Online film processing is no longer reported on the chart, since most online ordering is done using digital images.
  With the surge in popularity for online processing, many sites now offer discounts for members, special promotions, and an array of enlargements and photo novelties. Check individual websites for additional information and more specific shipping prices, which vary according to volume.

Since the last survey was done March 23, Sears, EZ Prints, SAM'S CLUB, Walgreens and Yahoo! have been added. The lowest cost for a 4-by-6 digital print is currently 11 cents from SAM'S CLUB. Ritzpix.com and Print@wolf lowered the price of a 4-by-6 digital print two cents to 27 cents, and the price of an 11-by-14 enlargement from $14.99 to $9.99. Snapfish reduced the price of a 4-by-6 digital print from 19 cents to 12 cents, a 5-by-7 print from 95 cents to 79 cents, and the cost of an 8-by-10 digital enlargement fell from $3.79 to $2.99. Watch for the next report in October.
