Here go some some digital photography printing options:

Photo store.

You just bring your digital camera or some digital info storage (like CD with photos or flash) and the photo shop will print your photos for you.

Surely photo stores have highly advanced machines. Plus their stuff knows the best tips and tricks to make your photos look best. They can even edit your photos if you give exact instructions.

The disadvantage – the waiting period. Another disadvantage – the printing machine used at photo store can be not the type you want your photos printed on. .

Home printer.

With home printing you do not have to wait in line. You can pring the photos any time you wish.

The drawback is that you have no other choice of printing device and the printed copies will depend on the kind of printing that you use. And upon your skill to use the the device.
