[behyx]

i dun need very fantastic printout or so.
where in singapore can i get it done very very cheaply?

[StreetShooter]

Standard Photo. 35 cents per 4R, $5 handling charge. If you have the Network Card, another 15% off. Also, they give you a voucher for 10 free 4R prints within the next two months.

If you drop it off at the head office (along MacPherson Road), you can collect within 1-2 days.

what is the network card? how to apply for 1?

and also, regardless of how many pics i print, they will also impose the $5 handling charge?

[StreetShooter]

You can get the network card if you accumulate receipts of > $150 (I think).

Yes, the $5 handling charge is for 1 picture or 1000 pictures. Same thing. Not negotiable.

No lah, the cheapest is at balestier point. The shop is E-color and he charges $0.30 for digital 4R print. No handling fees. Free color calibration image and print for you to bring it home to calibrate your monitor to his printer. He prints on Fuji crystal archive.

anyone knows the cheapest slide printing to 4R?
how about the better/best quality for slide printing? RGB?

Aiya, really cheap ones usually are so swamped with customers that it could take more than a week to get you photos done. I think get the $0.35 with 5 buck processing one is good enough. Quite a number of shops are priced this way.

I now do it in my Malaysia hometown. Fuji FDDI, so the quality is pretty standard. RM0.70 + RM5 and can collect within a few hours.

if the quality is so jialatz then no point going right, sort of waste of money printing unless the fotos are for real casual use..
so far i go konata and they cost me $0.35 a 4R, 37 shots will be $19.45 including development (that makes dev $6.50 rite..). fotos look nice, better than the old cheap places. so unless there is a nice cheap one which can match quality, i feel that spending a little more is worthwhile ....

Are you talking about digital photos being printed or is it film being developed?? For digital, no development cost and at the most , it is handling fees.

The quality of ecolor is very good. A lot of profession photographers go to him for their commerical shots. Don't believe, go to his shop and chat with him. I am sure he would not mind letting you take a look at the professional shots he is currently running through his machine. I can develope 65 shots with $19.50 as mentioned by you. It is up to individual to judge worhliness but how many outside know about color calibration. He knows about digital constraints and that is why he is giving a calibration shot and the files to calibrate your home system.

hi song,

in fact, once you said that he provide the CD for consumers to go home calibrate their monitor to match his printer, i know he is not a simple person with a simple shop..

can tell that he is a person who is quite particular with the color and wants the best output for his customer..

no doubt, i'll pop down these days!

[MaGixShOe]

i already said that thats the cheapest i KNOW
