Most of the time I print my best pictures. I print them because it is always possible that your harddrive crashes and after a while your disk is completely filled with pictures.

We hve a digital camera now so we do not print those, we live far from my parents so they are included in printed matter to send to them. We have instant cameras that we use when we travel so those are printed and I have a box by the computer for the pictures to be kept for scanning into the computer or use the disc that Kodak includes now. We can share them on line and the ones we have we take with us on occasion or print onto paper for carry purposes. The variety of uses is what is so great about picture taking now.

Yeah i print my digital photos, and i also have an album and in it i keep my digital prints. It gives me that feel of having a collection of my photos in paper of course.

I scrapbook so I need my prints. Other than those selected photos that are printed, they stay digital. No need to have all those prints laying around and collecting dust.

I basically shoot and then transfer them in the computer just because I love to go over them again and again and when there's too much photos in my computer I back them up in a cd. I don't really get them printed anymore not unless it's really special that I want it handy or kept in my wallet or something.

Over 99% of my photos stay digital and are never printed. This is probably because of the high cost and because I don't have the storage or display area to put well over 20,000 prints.

my mom had kept a collection of photo albums containing pictures of our family's trip abroad, so just recently i had our digital photos taken from our last trip printed so she can add it to her collection... in other cases, i prefer to keep them digital, easier to view and store plus i can have many pictures without spending on the prints...

I don't print them as much as I should.... in fact, right now I have all my Christmas pictures on my computer, ready to be printed. I just haven't gotten them uploaded to a site to have them printed! I get mad at myself sometimes because it doesn't take very long, but I just get busy and forget... I love to scrapbook, so I like having the actual prints in my hands, so you'd think I'd be better at getting them printed! But I'm not:(

No, I don't print all the digital photos. I only print a selected few which I think is good. It would cost a bomb to print everything :)

I collect my digital photos on CDs discs and I choose the best to print it. I love printed photos, I keep them in my albums. I can watch them when I want, I don't have to switch my computer on.

Yes, but only for special events or ocassions. The rest is just stored and reviewed most of the time in my pc. If I were to print my photos, then I'd be spending quite a lot by now. The really good photos are not just worth printing, but also putting them on display around the house, not just photo albums.

I tend to keep them digital, unless I'm printing them for a show or a client. Costs less that way. Also, it's one of the reasons I prefer film. It's a hassle processing digital photos, then taking them to the printer. It's so much less time consuming to just take a film cassette to the film processor.

It really depends on the subject of the photo for me. I live away from 99% of my family, so I send my digital pictures to walmart if they are of the kids, scenery or anything else that I would like my family to see. Otherwise I just keep them on my computer, and on a backup CD and use them just for personal viewing purposes.

I print the photos of my son which i take. Other wise no but maybe when i'm more into this i will. i rally like the idea of taking up a new hobbie and i hope to learn to be as good. ~Joey

Yes, I get my digital photographs printed for different reasons. Sometimes its to gift somebody, sometimes to put on the walls or tables and such reasons

It really depends on the picture I guess. I mean, I just moved out of state and away from my family for the 1st time so I tend to print my digital images more now than I ever have before. I use to just keep them digital for viewing and internet usage type stuff. Now I seem to be printing a lot of my digital pictures and mailing them back home. Like I said, I guess it just depends on the picture. Plus the situation.
