Have you seen the latest TV ad from Apple?

Apple claims that more pictures are being taken every day on iPhones than on any digital camera.

They’re probably right!

Your phone is always with you and it’s great for sharing snapshots.

But, what about making prints?

  • How do you create a tangible piece of photographic art?
  • What about important family pictures that you can hold in your hands or display?
Cell phone ads don’t mention printing your images. So, I thought we should help!

                                       ________________________________


The key to making prints is linking your cell phone to your computer.


  • Once you have your camera phone images on your computer it’s easy to get prints.
    • There are two ways to transfer photos from your cell phone to your computer:
      1. Use the phone to USB cable that came with your phone. Or...
      2. Connect your phone (and other devices such as tablets) to your PC or Mac over your home's WiFi network by using inexpensive apps.
    • You can make prints on your inkjet printer or order better-quality prints & enlargements from our lab.

Here are some apps you can use to transfer photos from your phone to your PC or Mac:


________________________________
An Economical App For iPhones

The Photo Transfer App from the Apple store allows you to quickly move photos and videos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac or Windows 7 or 8 PC.

To use Photo Transfer all of your devices and your computer must be on the same WiFi network. Each must have the Photo Transfer application installed and running during your WiFi transfer. This is an excellent program, which is pretty easy to use. You’ll find that transfer times are quite fast.

Developer: ERCLab, LLC. Optimized for iPhone 5.

Great deal! Just $2.99 from the Apple Store. One purchase is good for multiple devices, including iPhones and iPads, if purchased on the same Apple account. You’ll be prompted to order a free download of the program to your Mac or PC.

To order: Visit the Apple store and do a search for Photo Transfer or click here.

Windows 8 Phones

The best way to load photos from your Windows phone into your PC is by syncing with a wired connection between your phone and your computer.

Do not use SkyDrive from Microsoft to upload your pictures "to the cloud" if you want lab quality prints! SkyDrive will downsize your files. Though large enough for social media, your pictures will not have the resolution required for quality prints.

However, there is a Windows app that promises to send your images to SkyDrive at full resolution. The app is called Camera Roll Sync. Developer: Mandlebug. It's free from the Windows Phone store.

Once your full-sized images are on your PC ordering your prints is easy.

How Our Lab Can Help You

The color balance and exposure of photos … especially from cell phones … often need a little help to produce top-notch prints.

We individually correct each image so you can expect the most from every shot.

 Getting prints is easy when you have your pictures on your computer. Just visit us at www.iPrints.com, upload your images and order your prints.

Here are a couple tips:

  • Be sure to transfer the largest size files from your cell phone to your PC or Mac. Larger files sizes will give you the resolution you need for sharp prints.
  • Cell phones usually have smaller file sizes than conventional digital cameras. So, you may be restricted to ordering just 4” x 6” or 5” x 7” prints.
    • Look at the green bars on our site. You need at least two bars for a sharp picture.

If you live in South Florida, please visit our Hollywood store.

We'll help you make prints directly from your cell phone through our Kodak Picture Maker kiosks.



_________________________________

Cell phones are ideally designed for taking photos to share on social media. So, a logical question is why you should order prints at all?

Here are a two reasons:

  1. Printed photos won't "get lost in the crowd." You're taking hundreds, perhaps thousands of pictures. So, selecting your best shots and printing as you go makes a lot of sense...if only to identify and save the "keepers."
  2. Digital formats will change with the years, possibly making the viewing of your images difficult or impossible. But, photographic prints will always be viewable.
Ordering is fast, easy and inexpensive. So, please give us a try!
