Printing More Photos

[bjarvis]

I just finished uploading 304 photos --mostly the Anaheim IAGSDC convention-- to Adoramapix.com for printing. For 4x6 prints in lots of 300+ at a time, the cost drops to $0.16 per photo, higher than I'd like but not bad. I'm willing to pay extra because they are one of the few companies --Shutterfly being the other one I've found so far-- which will print the file name, the time & date stamp and a 20 character caption on the back. Since I usually do this manually on all of my photos, this will save me an enormous amount of processing time.

It's a little thing but it was the major selling point this time. So many photo printing companies either didn't offer the feature or didn't mention it on their web site.

Sounds like "value added" actually applies in this case. It sounds worth it to me.

Yup, $0.04 per photo to not have to write onto each one of them. That's a winner in my books!

I'm not sure why more companies don't offer this kind of service. Clark Color, for example, still goes through the bother of printing the web URL, order number & sequence and the upload date of the photo... it wouldn't be too difficult to replace these with details useful to the customer, even if they charged more for it.
