Default Printing single 8 x 8 pages?

I'd like to print some 8 x 8 single pages, but Shutterfly's are really expensive! They cost more than printing a book.
I'm having trouble finding other places that print single 8 x 8 prints.
I would love some suggestions!

I print my own on 8.5 x 11 paper on my Epson printer and they look wonderful! I've never had a scrapbook page printed commercially. I'll be interested in hearing what others will tell you that they have done.

I usually print my own, too, Mollie, but I guess I'm becoming lazy!
I have a stack that I've printed and need to cut, and I don't want to print more to add to it. I'm curious about what it would be like to receive a nice, neat stack of prints already cut and ready to slip right into those pages!

I print my own and am pleased. Most good quality printers do a nice job. I would think Costco would do them for a reasonable price.

Scrapping simply... they are reasonable and they do an amazing job!!! They are super cheap when they have their sales... but I think that is only twice a year. I print all my pages there =) Cheap shipping too!

I do mine at Costco - $1.50/print and I've been very happy with them

I have been using Scrapping Simply as well. Very good quality, fast turnaround, and arrived in perfect condition. I used to print my 12 X 12's at home on my Epson.

I love my own prints on my Epson printer. I'm picky and use Epson Matte paper. That way it doesn't stick to the sheets of my photo books. I haven't priced it to the penny, but I think it comes out cheaper than $1.50 / page.

Another vote for Scrapping Simply! I've tried several online sources, as well as printing my own, and Scrapping Simply is the best quality for the money, hands down!

I usually print at Costco, but I have also printed my own. Recently I had 81/2 x 11 prints done at Scrapping Simply, and I was very happy with them.

ScrapbookPictures are $1.49 for regular matte or glossy. I have noticed they will run sales on the square sizes from time to time, also. One shipping price and they do a great job - I have all my photos printed there and usually get it within a couple of days.

*** oops - sorry their shipping has changed - but it still doesn't look unreasonable ***

I actually printed the same layout at both Scrapbookpictures dot com and Scrapping Simply back in late August/early September. I'd ordered from Scrapbookpictures dot com before, but not Scrapping Simply, so I wanted to compare the two side-by-side. While I found both acceptable, I thought the weight of the paper and colors of the Scrapbookpictures dot com print were a little better. I then showed both to my husband, and he preferred the same one as well.

I did have problems with that last order getting mixed up when I ordered from Scrapbookpictures dot com, but they ended up refunding me my money and still giving me the prints, so I can't complain too much. It was right after they changed their ordering system back, so that may have been a good portion of the problem. I suggest making sure you are talking to an owner or manager when you call for any complaints.

Have fun printing! I love seeing the finished product in print--it always makes me want to scrap more!

I have used Costco for some 12x12 single pages (I'm sure 8x8 would be a similar story) and they are pretty good. My only complaint with them is that it seems like the size was a little off...as in, they didn't fit in my 12x12 frames without trimming them a little. That was frustrating!
But, I also have printed my 8x8 pages on my own printer and they turn out fabulous. I am obsessed with Staples brand "Photo Supreme Double-Sided Matte Paper". It is the best photo paper I have ever found (and I've tried *a lot*)!
Hope this helps! I'm inspired to print some of my pages now...maybe it will help with my missing mojo!

I have printed at mypictales.com and has been very satisfied with my single LOs (not so with my last photobooks though). Have just printed 300 pages and love it.

The price for 8x8 is 0.50 dollars there.
