Print Your Digital Pictures At Any Longs Drugs Store

As far back as I can remember my parents always took our film to be developed and pictures printed at Longs Drugs. If I ask most of the people I know who grew up in Hawaii, it seems to be that same story across the board. I admit in the last few years, with digital prints being the norm, I haven’t printed any pictures at Longs. I’ve been using various online services to print my pictures. You may even remember me writing a story about digital printing and Shutterfly’s services.

The worlds of past and present have come together with Longs Drugs Stores and Sony Electronics. You can upload your digital photos to Sony’s ImageStation website and pick them up at the closest Longs to you. ImageStation is an online photo service that allows you to upload, store and share your digital images and video clips online. You can upload your digital images directly from your computer to ImageStation and pick your prints up from any Longs Drugs store in the state (and West Coast). You can also have your prints sent to you, but you’ll have to pay extra for shipping.

This partnership with Longs provides you with the ease and convenience of printing your digital photos directly to a professional photo lab. Busy households and photographers alike now have more options for digital prints. You can create wallet-size, 4x6-inch, 5x7-inch or 8x10-inch prints of your favorite photos at competitive prices. A single 4x6-inch print will cost you only $0.12. The 5x7-inch is $0.79, 8x10-inch is $2.69, 16x20-inch is $14.99, 20x30-inch is $19.99 and the wallet size (four on a sheet) is $1.29. These prices are comparable with most places, but you have the added convenience of choosing from any of Longs Drugs’ 477 store locations. You could be visiting Disneyland in California and print your memories from a Longs Drugs Store there, if you so choose.

You can store photos on your ImageStation account and use it to share with friends and family. They can then order your photos directly online as well. If you have multiple pictures to upload, ImageStation provides different upload options, including an uploader tool (your choice of Windows or Mac).

Additionally, all prints are all available for pickup at the Longs of your choice, however if you’re interested in photo gifts, those have to be delivered to you from ImageStation directly. Gift items include mugs, t-shirts, flipbooks, handbags, calendars and greeting cards.
