Want to know how to get the best and least expensive prints of your digital photos?     You may be surprised to know that taking your digital images to a professional photo lab will result in superior quality at basically the same price as printing them at home.     Even though home photo printers are very popular and seemingly inexpensive, there are many hidden costs associated with them.   Check for yourself.    The American Consumer Institute has posted a website www.consumercalculator.com which allows you to input your information and determine how much it costs you to print your photos at home.     Based on printing 300 photos per year, the average cost, depending on your printer, can range from 24 to 42 cents for a 4 x 6 print!    At Mastercolor a digital 4 x 6 print cost 29 cents.    That photo is printed on a professional Noritsu printer by people who have an average of 25 years of photo printing experience.      Print some images at home.    Then let us some images for you.     You decide.
