Default Printing? questions, questions, questions:)

i am full of questions today
so what do you about printing?
i did costco for my first pages but @ $1.49 it will be getting expensive i laready have about 30.00 worth of pages.
i am usually all over the place with my scrapping, so a chrono. type photo book is not a good idea for me.
any thoughts? if i am getting annoying with the questions just let me know

I have mine printed into a photobook at Shutterfly. I usually wait for a sale and free shipping.

I use simply scrapbooking. I wait for sales and pre buy pages. Love them... and the prices are reasonable!

Talking just upload a jpg???

I'm looking for a place to print my pages. Are there resources where you just upload jpgs and they will put the book together for you? It feels like the sites I've been on you have to use their layout.

thanks
andrea

oh, I have used scrapbook pictures (sale), and scrapbooks Please (sale). the Scrapbooks Please I found out about through here. They're currently running another sale of $0.99 for there standard matte. Both have excellent quality. If I had lots of $$$ I'd spring for the premium luster at scrapbooks please, but I don't, so standard matte is wonderful for me.

Once you get over your backlog, you may find that $1.49 or $1.99 is a bargain compared to ink for your home printer. I'm not thrilled with the color from my Canon. It's ok for some things but ...

I did the CathyZielske ME-TAV class pages at scrapbookpictures and was happy with the color that matched my screen. Others have gone to Costco if it's one or two unrelated ones.

I print at home using an Epson R1900 printer
All my photobook projects are done at Shutterfly
I also outsource some of my individual layout printing to Scrapping Simply.

Can I add another twist to this question?? Do most of you all actually print out layouts and put them in an album or have a photobook done - or do you leave most of your stuff in the computer/storage somewhere, or blog it or. . . ???
