Cheap photo print services which print the filename on the back?

March 16, 2022 3:03 PM

I'm looking for a cheap (say, no more than $0.11 / 4x6 print in quantities > 1000) photo printing service which will print the filename of the photo on the back.

Services which do not do this: Shutterfly (they claim to do it, but after three reprints of my order including two where they were supposedly sent to QA to make sure it was done, they still didn't do it, and finally admitted "that feature is no longer available but it hasn't been removed from the interface yet"). Snapfish and Walmart don't have it at all. Any ideas?

Response by poster: (I suppose if all else fails, I can just burn-in the filename into the photo itself using ImageMagick, but I'd really prefer to avoid that.)

Printique (FKA Adorama) can do this. Not sure about pricing.

I was just looking at adorama - unfortunately they're 0.31/print even in large quantities. (There may be bulk discounts not available through the web interface.)

I’m pretty sure this doesn’t exist at the price you’re asking for.

Costco prints the file name of the photo on the back of the photo, up to 20 characters. A 4x6 print is 11 cents
