Flickr Prints Coming Soon

Thursday, Aug. 11 2005 | Author: jeremy

Derek Powazek posted pictures on his site today of what appear to be test runs of a new service that could launch on Flickr any day now.

Since the first photos were uploaded to Flickr, users have always thought “if only I could order prints.” It looks like that may not be far off.

The first surprise was a huge envelope with a 13×19 print inside. The print is a large grid of thumbnails from a seemingly random assortment of my Flickr photos.

The other surprise was a book – 8×10, 66 pages, glossy cover, matte interior. Inside there are four photos per page, culled from my recent sets.

Again, I don’t see this error.

Jacob thinks it may have something to do with the server, and I think he is working on migrating the site to a new server.

Shortly before they were acquired by Yahoo, it was announced Flickr had selected a vendor for its prints: http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2005/3/emw216938.htm

It will be interesting to see if the same vendor will be used post-Yahoo.

I am surprised it took them this long!
