Printing 5x5 pictures on-line

Platinum Member Joined: Jun 30 2009 Posts: 8233

I have a CD of some pictures that are 5x5 that I would like to print.
I can't seem to do it on Snapfish or Shutterfly. I googled a bit and came up with Winkflash, for 25 cents a print.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I've been satisfied with the quality of Winkflash, if that's what you're asking.

If it's a matter of economy, I'd probably just print them 5x7 and cut off the white part myself...

Until I found this website I actually thought of doing that, but that's not how they print 5x5 pictures in a 5x7 size. I did a preview on Shutterfly, and they just cut off a bit of the original to fill the whole print.

I guess Winkflash it is!

I think you can choose, I don't know about shutterfly though because I never used them for prints. But I have definitely printed off-size pictures (snapfish? winkflash? both? others? don't remember) and had a choice whether to crop or have extra white space.

But anyway, unless you have a good coupon elsewhere, $0.25 sounds about average for 5x7 anyway.

I use winkflash a lot for the photo books, but I have found that the development isn't as sharp, clear and good coloring as other developments. I know someone who developed some things on winkflash and the same things on snapfish, the ones from snapfish were much nicer.

or you can put 2 on a 8.5 x11 page and develop it like that.
