8x10 questions?
What is the cheapest way to get 8x10s?
I saw that it could get as low as .90 cents but you had to buy about 300 of them to get that price.
But I've been printing them on the computer. And it running me $35 dollars for like 20 pictures.
So I've ordered ink refills for about $5 bucks a pop. Don't know if that'll work yet.
But does anyone have any suggestions?

Every once in a while a place like Walgreens has a sale on getting pictures developed. Sometimes you might run into copyright issues with these places and they won't print them. Often you don't have that problem though. I don't know what kind of drugstores are around you but CVS, Walgreens, etc. sometimes have specials where they offer great deals on printing 8x10's. You just gotta keep an eye out. I think Walmart is $2 an 8x10 and would be cost ineffective for you at that rate. Check all the drug store chains around you, their websites should tell you and if there are any sales or promotions.

Wow...I thought WataPhoto was cheap because I saw their pricing but after setting everything up and going to check out, it got to be around 90 cents a photo. And that makes a huge difference that I'm printing 65+ pictures.
Gonna try Artscow right now to see if there is a surprise at the end.
Still have to admit it though, both sites are WAY CHEAPER than the other national brands.

Artscow is actually based in Hong Kong and I think WataPhoto is Foreign as well, I have never had trouble with their shipping though! There is also a Artscow coupon code that will give you free shipping on orders over $10 (really easy to find!)

I thought WataPhoto was in Dallas? I called them to inquire about why pricing jumps from like $0.53 cents to $0.90. Plus their shipping is more reasonable than ArtsCow because I believe it's $3 for as many prints as you like.
ArtsCow has a ton of coupons but without them, you're forced to pay almost as much as the cost of the photos.

Yea I'm fairly certain Wataphoto is based out of Dallas. I've enjoyed their prints and their prices (shipping especially), but find that as far as online services go, Adorama is head and shoulders above the rest if you're willing to pay a couple bucks more. Adorama is usually 3-4 days shipped to your house (though my recent order has strangely taken over a week to be shipped and probably won't be here till Wed.), whereas Wataphoto can take a bit longer than I'd like to ship.

They're not bad. I feel they are a little flimsy and not of the greatest quality, but definately solid for the money. Example.. Good for the Shaun Hill 8x10 I just got, probably wouldn't send one to Bart Starr though.
If you're looking to just buy them as you need them, and want top quality.. Try AdoramaPix.com.
