A while back, my family purchased a digital camera for around £300. I thought the whole idea of taking unlimited pictures, loading them onto your PC, and then editing them to improve them or just to have a play around and make someone's eyes bigger, add huge, visible boobs to someone's body (yes it's possible!!), but I was a bit bummed that we'd no longer have a way of showing off photos on paper. What I didn't know was that services like Fotango.com existed....
With Fotango.com, you can send in normal photo films or disposable cameras, to have them printed and sent back to you. Alternatively if you own a digital camera, you can have your photos uploaded to the web and printed onto Kodak paper. Then Fotango will send you your photos in regular "snail" mail. Their prices are relatively inexpensive and their service seems good. Just for joining I received a voucher to have a free film printed, which I have just unfortunately realised expired, unused, today.
Everyone has a favourite photo which is really cute or so damn ugly you want to show it off, and my favourite part of their service was their gifts that can be made from photos. You can have a special photo put into a fancy frame, made into a jigsaw puzzle or printed on a T-Shirt, mousemat, mug, candle, place mat or even onto some tasty chocolate!! The photo is printed directly onto the choco bar using edible inks!! The photo gifts start from as little as £4.99.
I am totally obsessed with this service and I am becoming even more engrossed just by looking through the site for things to mention here. I would definitely recommend this service, regardless of whether you have a digicam!!

I was impressed with their service. I wanted a good quality printout of a digital photo, so I uploaded it and it arrived in a couple of days. The quality was superb!! And the ability to share photos is great. RJL.

Gee thanks. Avril
Advantages: Fast service, Share your photos with friends easily, in their email, then they can purchase prints for themselves, Loads of extras to play with, some great gift ideas Disadvantages: May need to "rotate" images for them to print correctly, Any photos which you link to have an add on them
