I love to take photos. If
you know me well, follow my Instagram, or if you’re a regular reader of my
blog, you’ll probably realise that taking photos is a massive part of my life.
I love to capture precious memories, but also day-to-day things that I would
otherwise forget. I think this love of photos came from my parents – my Dad has
always been interested in photography, and his Dad (my Grandpa) was also a keen
photographer. And from the day I was born, my Mum started making up albums of
family photographs that my siblings and I loved (and still love!) to flick
through. I did the same, until I was given my first digital camera - I stopped
printing out my photos and they just sat on my computer. I always think it’s
such a shame to have hundreds of special memories lost in cyberspace, so I was
really excited when Printiki contacted me and asked if I would like to review their photo printing service.
I’ve tried a couple of
photo printing apps and websites in the past, but it’s always good to find more
and look for good deals. They kindly gave me a voucher to print out 30 photos,
but in the end I actually ended up paying for more, which is testament to how
much I liked their service. I’ve wanted to make up scrapbooks of both of my
brothers’ weddings from last summer, so decided to print out photos from David
and Emma’s using this voucher. I also picked up this cute scrapbook from
Paperchase,
which I thought summed up the celebrations perfectly!
I found the website really
simple to use, with easy to understand instructions. You can use Printiki on
any device, from a laptop or desktop computer to an iPad or Smartphone. There
are four different categories of products you can print – Retro prints, Normal
prints, Books and Posters. The Retro and Normal prints can then be selected in
a range of different sizes and styles; the books come in a variety of different
sizes whilst the posters can be printed in either small or medium sizes and in
both portrait and landscape. So there’s plenty of options to choose from
depending on the kind of style you are after. Prices vary depending on the type
of photoproduct you are ordering, but I felt they were comparable with other
photo printing services I’ve used.
My prints arrived really quickly
despite only using their economy postage, which impressed me. And I was so
happy with how they turned out. Some of them, due to the size and shape of the
photo, have a white boarder, so I may trim those before putting them in my
scrapbook. But the quality was perfect and the size I received (Square M) will
be perfect for making my scrapbook, alongside other bits and bobs that I
collected during the wedding. I will definitely be using Printiki again,
probably to print out the photos from Richard and Lisa’s wedding! If you’d like
to print some photos out with them too, head on over to their website and click ‘Print my Photos,’ which you will find in the top right corner of the
webpage. If you’re a bit stuck on what to do with your photos once you’ve
printed them, you can also have a look on the Printiki Instagram account for loads of ideas and inspiration. It’s got me wanting to try all sorts of
creative projects!
Do you print out your photos at all?
What do you think of Printiki? Or is there another service you would recommend?
*Printiki kindly gave me a voucher
to cover 30 Square M photos, but I also bought more with my own money. All
opinions are my own and I only review things on my blog that I would genuinely
try myself
