Flickr and HP’s Snapfish Team on Photo Printing

By Geoff Duncan November 13, 2009

Yahoo has announced that its popular Flickr photo sharing service is partnering with Hewlett-Packard’s Snapfish to offering an expanded range of photo printing and gift services. The deal not only provides new ways for Flickr users to organize, transfer, and and print their photo, but expands photo printing services to international users, since Snapfish’s photo printing services are available in 22 countries.

“At Flickr, it’s important that all our members across the globe have the ability to bring their images to life through printing and sharing,” said Flckr general manager Douglas Alexander, in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with Snapfish in this effort, as we feel the company provides the value and choice we know our members expect when it comes to their photos.”

Under the deal, Flickr users will not only be able to half their photos printed, but will also be able to ship the printed photos anywhere in the world. Flickr users in the United States will also have the option to pick up their photos locally at Snapfish retail partners, which include brick-and-mortar operations like Walmart, Staples, and Walgreens.

Users will be able to order standard prints from images in their Flickr photostreams, but will also be able to create calendars, cards, books, collages, and canvas prints. At the moment, users can only opt to print photos in their own Flickr streams, but Flickr is working to enable printing of photos from other Flickr users, so long as those users have granted permission. Pricing for prints varies by size, the nature of prints, and the user’s location, but is generally competitive with other photo printing services.

Get this LaserJet printer for $119 in HP’s Memorial Day sale

HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101fdw printer looks nice on a white stand beside plants.

With the big shift to working from home, printers have become an important part of everyday life, even if you don't really use one regularly, and while some of the best printers from the best printer brands can be very expensive, some budget-friendly versions are not. So, if you don't do a ton of printing on a day-to-day basis, a budget printer like the HP LaserJet M209dw is the way to go, and there's even a solid Memorial Day discount on it directly from HP. While it usually goes for $149, you can grab it now for just $119, which is a nice $30 knocked off the price.

Why you should buy the HP LaserJet M209dw Printer
The HP LaserJet M209dw is a monochrome printing laser that's great for things like text documents or even character sheets for those who want to play tabletop roleplaying games. It can print at a very impressive 30 ppm, so your prints will be done relatively quickly, while the monthly recommended print volume of between 200 and 2,000 pages should be more than enough for most needs. The 600 x 600 dpi resolution isn't too bad, although it is on the lower end, which is to be expected at this price point.
