Epson Store Online
Right now I currently own an Epson Stylus printer. I have others, but this is my favorite for color prints. I have shopped here at ”Epson Online” many times. They give great service and are very helpful.
On the site right now you can print an American flag”. It comes up in Acrobat Reader, and is in color. I am sure it will be available for a while.
The best part of their site is a photo center. You can sign up and share albums with your friend. There are other sites available, and I am sure you have heard of a few. Well add this one to your bookmarks.

By joining you get to: store and organize photos, invite friends and family to see and print high quality photos. To print your photos from home you have to meet the requirements. Here they are: Windows 95/98/2000/ ME/NT sorry not available for MAC yet. Internet explorer 4.0 or higher and Netscape 4.0 or higher. Will not work for Netscape 6.
When you join you (it is free) you can upload photos from your pc. I uploaded 5 pics. Then they will go to your photo inbox, there you have the option to copy or move them to one of your albums. And of course you can name your own album instead of what they offer there. I decided to do a World Trade Center Album to share over the net with family and friends. I then went to look at my album and there they were after moving them up. In here they will tell you the size of the image, and you can do edit or view from here as well as check the box for deleting it. When you click on view, it will give you another page with a larger picture of your image, the pixel size and an option to rotate.
There is a caption box that allows you to add words to the picture. Then there are printing links on the right. Now I wanted to view this in a larger view, so I can print one out. I clicked here, where it says ‘view larger size’ and followed the instructions. But you have to keep in mind that in some cases your image will not be able to be enlarged. You then have to play around with the picture in an imaging software type program to crop, enlarge etc. The re-upload.
Ok, now onto more that they offer. You can order prints. Prints from your albums. Here is the price list in US$ dollars.
4x6 $.49
5x7 $ .99
8x10 $3.89
3.5x5 $.66
11x14 $4.99
16x20 $14.99
20x30 $19.00
8 wallet $2.99
Now onto sending them by email. These are called Photo point PicCheers Postcards. It is very simple. Select one of the photos in your album(s) and click to send. You fill in the normal type information, and your message. You can then choose a different color background and font, font color, border and an e-stamp. These are so cool! That’s it! You then can view this e-card for up to 30 days and they give you the link. I sent one to myself for the testing. Let’s see how long it took. I just did another one now to give you this information. I never took notice before. I chose to send now, or you have the option to choose a different time and date.
In the meantime let’s look at the section of creating unique gifts from your photos. There you will find your information on ordering your prints, what kinds of paper they sell and make for your at home printing needs and printers, in case your in the market for a new printer.
You can also order a framed photo for delivery. Very simple procedure, click on order a framed print, the next screen will give you a choice of what album. Once you choose that album you then can choose which one.
Ok. The e-card came. Was very nice in email too.
Tell your friends to make their albums, in the shared album, this way you can type in their email address and view all they left you to see.
I haven’t ordered anything from them yet, but I am planning to for Christmas. They will make nice gifts.
Now that you know a little more about this site, maybe it will become a useful tool to you.
I know it has made my life easier.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed.
