The results from Walgreens is haphazard. The one near me used to do great prints, no longer. The tint and color is way off and beyond the range for the operator to correct. They said they were waiting for a new machine, but after months I gave up waiting.
I've stopped doing prints long ago, but Ive had acceptable results with Walgreens, Wallmart, Sams club, and also Target. No major complaints. Sams club I thought was more professional, and they offered a wide range of papers and other substrates (printing on glass, etc.).
But what they all do, I think, is farm out their printing to a different business. I am not sure of that.
Of course there are online printing services, and they seem a lot more serious about printing.
My experience with Walgreen’s processing was less than satisfactory.

In my store at least, store employees print in-store products. Things like pillows, blankets, mugs, etc. go to some other location which is more likely a different company. In the past I have inserted a winter photo into one of their many templates. A year ago, I discovered that you can design the entire card yourself. The big advantage of Walgreens is their frequent deep-discount sales on photo products. This year I got my 80 holiday cards for 60% off. They also have a no-questions-asked guarantee of satisfaction. >Alan

Sorry to hear that. One more reason I enjoy living where I ended up by accident (Boston MA suburbs). >Alan
