The Mountain View house also extends the update to the European market (including Italy) of the printing service by Google Photos. A convenient and quick way to print photos via a shortcut inserted directly into the app (or alternatively via the Google Photos site): in addition to photo books – which were already possible to print – now comes the possibility to order via the app also photographic prints and canvas prints.
The price of photographic prints start at € 0.15 each; they are available in the formats 10×10, 10×15, 13×18, 20×20, 20×30, 30×45, 40×60, 50×50, 50×75 and 60×90 *. Canvas prints they cost from 27.99 euros to rise; the available formats start from 20×20 * and reach 75×100 *. For the sake of completeness, please note that the price of a photo book starts at 14.99 euros. Shipping costs are charged separately and vary according to the type of printing.
Starting today, we have begun distributing to users in Canada and 28 European countries ** the option of Google Photos to create photo and canvas prints and receive them directly at home, in addition to photo books.
The new print options aren’t reflected in the app yet, but it shouldn’t be long on arrival as Google talks about a phased release. Remember that (in the Android app) to order a print you must open the photo, call up the three dots menu, select the “Order photo” option and then the type of print. Alternatively, you can connect to the official website (link in Source), log in with your Google account and take advantage of the new options.
You shoot a lot but print little. The arrival of the new print options inserted directly into the Google Photos app could represent an extra incentive to select the most deserving photos from your gallery and turn them into something more tangible.
