I'm in the in process of installing modules for my new G2 installation. I wanted to get some user opinions as to which photo printing module is best. I know everyone will have their preference, but hopefully I get a lot of responses to make my own decision. Please give me which photo printing module you're using or you've tried and what you like/dislike about the module and service. Thanks!

For ease of use, I like Shutterfly.

But........ since I actually SELL photos, I am using and am pretty happy with DIGIBUG.

The only knock on Digibug is that they are still fairly new, and are still working out some bugs/issues, but they will do for you for FREE what Shutterfly want's $100/year for, which is setting your own prices, having them handle billing, printing and shipping, and taking a 15% cut of your markup.

If you just want to let people PRINT, I'd go with Shutterfly.

If you want to set your own prices and SELL photos, I'd go with Digibug.

If you want to set your own prices and SELL photos and you don't mind spending $100 up front to never have to deal with any bugs/problems, I'd probably go with Shutterfly.

I will say this, however:

Although I have had quite a few orders not go as smoothly as they should, and I've even had orders delayed 2+ weeks beacuse of a 2-digit state issue at Digibug's end, not to mention heads being cut off at the top of prints, etc - The customer service at Digibug has always made things right, and done so in a very quick & efficient manner, (free reprints, free upgraded shipping, etc) so I do think that someday soon, Digibug is going to be THE CHOICE for selling photos online, or Shutterfly will drop their $100/year when people start leaving them enmasse for Digibug, or maybe even both.

Hope this helps!
