My image files are stored in the computer, the printer puts them on paper, just like a commercial operation.

Why would you want to do such a thing? Do not your potential recipients have devices to read image files?

Is there no Photobucket? Is there no Imageshack?

I just printed a set of bird prints for the local humane society fund raising auction. The image files I used were much larger than those I store online. The 800X600 files I have on Photobucket will make a decent print at 4X6 inches but for really nice larger prints you need more file data. You’ve always got to consider that when you reduce the physical size of an image file you are discarding data and you can’t get it back. The files I save for printing are in TIFF format, they don’t deteriorate like JPG files will. A printer can only reproduce the data it gets, the more the better up to a point.
