Pay per print service?

[Scarletpimpofnel]

I've used Epson printers for 25 years and I'm sick of the cost of the ink and the fact that every time I need to use it it requires much wastage of ink cleaning and realigning the heads before it actually spits something useable out.

As my printing nowadays isn't time critical I was wondering about binning my printer and finding some company where I email what I want printing with spec like colour/paper type and so on then they post me the prints.

Does anyone use such a service for occasional personal use? Any recommendations?

Thanks.

I gave up on Epson home printing years ago as the cost is daft.

For cheap but decent I've used Photobox.co.uk for 15 years, and for posh, I use Zenfolio. There are many others. Queensbury are expensive but top drawer.

for photo prints, Photobox, DSCL and Loxley in increasing order of quality and expense.

Otherwise local photo kiosk.

Try this:

Use code XHPS20 to get 20% off print (excluding delivery)

Let me know what you think of it or if you think it needs any additional features. I designed it for Xerox.

Check your local library, mine is the cheapest & easiest place to get printing done within miles.

As an alternative, the HP Instant ink service starts at 99p for 15 pages a month.
1 ink cartridge costs around the same a 2 years subs..
