James WoodwardAdvice needed for Safari Photo print
Hello Everyone,
Because of the demise of film cameras, I have hundreds of hunting pictures taken with and stored on my IPhone 12 that I would like to have printed, as well as enlarging several to 8x10 size,etc.
With the anti-hunting madness being what it is today, I am reluctant to send my photo's to a printing service, so I am wondering what you all do here to print your hunting/trophy photo's....can anyone recommend a service in the USA that specializes in Hunting/Safari photo's?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

SaeedBuy yourself a photo printer.
I recommend Cannon, as we use them here.
You can get ones with wireless printing straight from your phone.
Make sure you pick the right photo paper, and the quality will be fantastic.

James WoodwardThank You Saeed, and funny that you mentioned buying a printer because I thought about that but I wasn't sure if the pictures would be detailed enough.
I'm going to look into that route!

SaeedWith the right printer and paper, they rival any commercially printed pictures.
We use the Canon Pro 300 A3 printer as well.
Photo quality is unrivaled by commercial printing sources.

James WoodwardLooks like they are $899.00 here in the USA but after a few uses it will pay for itself

James WoodwardFor those of you that don't print your own photo's, do you use a particular service?

Mike B.I typically will just get a book made from someone like shutter fly or another service. I like the coffee table books. It works well to easily see memories at your finger tips. I've never sent off a bunch of pictures for just loose photos to be printed but honestly, in today's automated world, I'd be shocked if anyone was looking at every single photo that goes through the printing process and shipping.

HannayI have prints made by Shutterfly and photo books made by Blurb, using their BookWright software. Like Mike B., I'm skeptical that anyone is looking at the photos. From Shutterfly, I've gone up to 16"x20" but mostly print 8"x10".

James WoodwardThank you fellas!
It’s a shame that we have to think this way but that’s the reality in today’s world

LittleJoeShutterfly is a great option. They have printed books, photos, etc and never ever a problem.

470EDDYMost of your local Drug Stores have a Kodak photo system for personal/private use. They are very simple to use by plugging in your phone to the input screen module, plug in your SD Card from your camera, then you can upload any or all as you choose, then crop each photo as you see fit, then you can save to a CD and also select prints of any size and finish, as well as select printing of books and calendars. Quite reasonably priced, good quality and in the privacy of the photo department with side blinders....
I use this often for my hunting and fishing photos, but also to upload my yacht photos used for listings on YachtWorld.
These systems are getting worn out and Kodak is slow to replace them or upgrade them. It is frustrating if you get a bad one... and sometimes the clerk staff are not photo-smart in using these systems!!
Good Luck!!

This is an A3 printer.
You can get one at around $130 which prints on A4.

No.
These are actually of inferior quality than than the printer is capable of.
Because the paper we use for the album is not of as good a quality as one can get for separate photos.
