Snapfish is a service by HP that allows anyone to send their digital photographs to be printed into many kinds of products. I have printed some photo prints from them, which turned out looking pretty good.

One good thing about Snapfish’s photo prints are that they are chemically developed (pardon my lack of knowledge of photography nomenclature) instead of being printed by an inkjet printer. This is the same kind of photographs you get when you send your films to the photo developing shops (although the processing seems to be different). You can get the inkjet printing from those “instant” printers outside photo developing shops. Prints that are chemically developed have longer lifespans (sometimes up to a hundred years) and will fade slower compared to inkjet prints.

Snapfish allows you to upload your photograph onto their servers before creating your products. There are tons of products that you can customize using your photographs.

From what I know, Snapfish.com (their USA page) has more products. However do take note that they will be more expensive to ship over.

If you were to print a 4R photograph in a photo shop, it will cost around 40 cents for low qualities and maybe 30 cents for quantities above 20. From Snapfish, it costs 19 cents per 4R and delivery for 1-55 pieces of 4R costs only SGD$1.90. If you develop about 20 4R photos, it will cost about $0.28 to $0.29 per piece, which is cheaper than the 30 cents you will typically expect to pay at photo shops. And the savings only increase as you order more photographs. For myself, I like the service as it sends the prints to me. I don’t have to go down to develop my pictures, I don’t have to go back to the shop to collect them, they just end up in my mailbox.
