Do you print your photos as you need them or do you print a bunch at a time.


I just print a bunch every so often unless rarely I need a certain one for a challenge.

I do that, too. I print a bunch of pictures at a time, then scrap what I want.
I used to keep all my pictures in photo albums and then pull from there what I wanted to scrap.
For the last few years I haven't gotten the pics into albums, though, which is just annoying.
BUT, between photo albums and scrabooks, there is NO MORE ROOM! (I'm exaggerating but still...)

I print the ones I want to scrap.

I print a bunch when I run across a great sale (penny prints). I have boxes of photos so I can just search for the ones I want to use for a challenge. Of course, there is always that one picture I did not print that I really want to work with..

I used to print ahead and then I would forget what I had printed and I would print them again. Now it is pretty much as I go except for all of the duplicates I have printed waiting for something to be done with them. Problem is there are always new pictures grabbing my attention first.

i print mine at home, and i mostly print as I need them because I never know what size/shape I might want. When I print ahead, either they end up being the wrong size or I misplace them,

Mine just don't look very good printed at home. Even with new printers and fresh ink. i wonder if some kind of Selphy or dedicated photo printer would be better?

This is my problem, too! The newer stuff is what I want to scrap!

I print as I need them.

I print a bunch at a time; I rarely print one at a time.
