Printing digital photos ?

Question

First, I know very little about digital photo's.

I bought a Canon Powershot SD1000 7.1 megapixel camera recently..... Also my old printer quit recently and I bought a Canon PIXMA MP470 all-in-one photo printer recently.

To get photo's, should I print out pics on my printer, or should I have a photo place develop these pics ?

Does printing digital photos use a lot of ink ?

I have printed out a couple of pics with fairly good results.

Should I try to print out pics on 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 or what ?

What are the costs involved ?

Any suggestions ?

Answer 1

If you have a lot of pictures to print, it's a lot cheaper to take them someplace to be printed.  But it's also nice to be able to print some at home, too!   I use my printer when I want just a couple right away, and don't have time to go someplace to do it.  Doing them yourself does use a lot of ink.

Answer 2

go to costco. they print them out very nicely
