Many printers can connect directly to your camera, where you can choose which images (and how many) to print without ever switching your PC on. Check that both printer and camera are Pict Bridge compatible, like the Samsung Pro815. Most home printers can also produce special items like T-shirt transfers, greetings cards and stickers if you use the right printing medium.
Don't worry if you haven't got a printer at home, you can still use traditional photo labs. Simply copy your images to a CD or just take your memory card to your local shop and they'll print them out, just like traditional film prints. You can also transfer your images via the web to mail-order printers who'll create superb quality images or gifts and post them back to you. Most internet service providers broadband connection speeds will ensure that this upload procedure takes only a few seconds for each image.
