My kids often want to give pictures to friends, for example, they'll take a
picture of a group of 4-5 and then they want to give each member of the group
a print. This gets expensive pretty quickly, so what I did is tell my children
to send the digital image to their friends, and the friends can print it any
way they want - at their expense.
The local lab charges the same for a print from a negative as for a print
from a digital file, and, AFAIK, doesn't offer the luxury of refusing prints
because they're pictures one didn't intend to keep.
My kids prefer online viewable albums - remember, we're talking about
snapshots here - so they don't order prints for every single digital
capture.
