Ok, I luv looking at my pages on my computer - but I want to TOUCH them!!!

I think the pages are all supposed to be like regular SB pages - right, so 10x10?

I've looked at the online photo places (ritz, walmart, kodak) and they don't offer prints in that size...

What do you do??

I'm interested in this too. I don't do digital scrapbooking mainly for that reason. I want to be able to SHOW the pages to someone else without having to drag them to my computer. So, if it is possible to print them off, I would love to know. :grin

You can have 10x10 prints made at Mpix (www.mpix.com) It costs 3.99 per print.

I have a wide carriage printer that I bought used off ebay, an Epson 2200. I saved up $$ for over a year. :O I have been THRILLED with the results. The photograph quality is as good as any printed picture I've ever seen. I'm not sure what the cost is ppg, I haven't used it enough to know how much the inks will run. I'm spending $1.50 on each piece of paper because I'm using the Epson premeire paper that lasts up to 200yrs. So $1.50 plus ink, I'm guessing 2.50-3.00 each pg, depending on the amount of ink used. That's for 12x12.

Also you could print them out as 8 x 8s, and put them in a mini-album... that's what I hope to do once dh gets us a new ink cartridge... though I hope to get some square frames and have a wall with a rotating display of pages that I have made. :)

I design in 8.5 by 11 for that reason. We bought a nice printer and then I just print them at home, slip the pages into my scrapbook and voila, something to show everyone.

You could also do 8 by 8. Or else send out to get them developed elsewhere, like was already recommended.

I've heard that Sams Club does 12X 15 prints. Just place your 12X12 on a 12x15 page (I colour my background pages red so that it's easy to find the edges to cut off the extra) and save.

Did that make sense?

So, when you print at home (the 8.5x11) do you use photo paper? And how much does it cost at Sam's?

For printing at home, I sometimes use photo paper and I sometimes use card stock. Depends on whehter you want that glossy finish or not.

I print in 8x8 but I think Kinkos can print them in 12x12 or 10x10 however you like them. Just put them on disk and take them up there :)
