Send Photos for Print to your Nearest Print Shop with Fujifilms New Print a Photie App
Fujifilm South Africa has unveiled a new mobile app called Print A Photie that allows users to send images to print straight from a smartphone to their closest photo shop.
With the Print A Photie app available for both Apple and Android devices installed on a smartphone or tablet, users are able to select their best images to send for printing to more than 70 Fujifilm-backed print stores around South Africa.
Users can also print photos directly from their personal computers, making use of the Print A Photie site.
Prints can then be picked up in-store on the same day, or delivered via courier at an extra cost.
How it works
The Print A Photie app makes it possible to select images from a smart device, or from a connected Facebook, Instagram, Google Photos or Twitter account.
There are several print sizes to choose from, including the standard 10x15cm Jumbo print, through to A5, A4 and the poster size A3 (30x40mm). Users can select as many photos as they wish and select more than one print of the same photo. Prices are kept competitive, with excellent print quality thanks to the Fujifilm photo paper used.
The easy-to-use app makes use of GPS to show the closest Fujifilm retailers in a user’s area to collect their prints from, while a courier option is also available at an additional cost.
Furthermore, the app makes use of a secure payment gateway, though users who are not comfortable paying through the app can pay for prints at the shop. The Print A Photie app is both POPIA and GDPR compliant in order to protect personal information.
Fujifilm said the idea for the Print A Photie app came about during the Covid-19 pandemic where customers were reluctant to touch surfaces in store, which meant the touchscreen photo print machines were used less often.
Fujifilm’s Deon Brits said the company’s heritage lies within the printed photo, having been established to produce photographic film in 1934.
“As such, we believe in the power of the printed image. Having a photo printed is to ensure that a memory stays with you forever.”
