It's like a binding machine that comes with it's own hardback books (they're black with a window in the front, very sleek looking). You print out your images, place the spine of the book down on the heating panel for like, 90 seconds, and before you know it, the printouts are permanently bound to the book!
It makes for a great gift, or just a classy way to display your pictures. I think anyone who's passionate about their photography (or who at least wants to preserve their images in a nice way) should check it out - www.myphotobookcreator.com.
They sell them online at Best Buy.com and Target.com, but I think I heard somewhere that the product will be sold at Office Max and Depot stores soon. I'm not positive on that though.I print them at home on a photo printer. Mostly mine go onto a CD but a small percentage are sent in emails, too.I've had extremely excellent experience with Walgreens photo service.
You can upload pictures to their website, then select which ones you want to print.
You then specify that you want to pick them up at a store -- you pick the store (so you can even have them sent to a store near a friend or relatives house!).
Great pricing, and really convenient!I save what I think are the Best shots. I save them onto a cd-rw. Once the cd-rw is full, I transfer the pictures to a standard cd-r. I have rarely printed.The photos I want to keep I put on a cd. From there if I want a print I bring cd to either Walgreens or some department store and put cd in their machines to make prints. They also can do it for you.
