Does Staples Print Photos? Staples, FedEx and Office Depot

Short answer: not regular photo prints. Staples' print shop makes photo canvas, metal and mounted prints, photo mugs and magnets, and postcards (same day if you order by noon), but its website doesn't list 4x6 photo prints. FedEx Office says it "no longer offers everyday photo printing." Of the three office stores, only Office Depot and OfficeMax print regular photos: glossy 4x6 to 11x14, ready the next day if you order by 2 pm.

Office stores are where a lot of people go to print things, so it's a fair guess that they print photos. Two of the three big ones mostly don't anymore. Here's what each actually does, and where to go when you need a 4x6 today.

Staples

Staples Print & Marketing lists photo wall art (canvas, mounted, metal and border prints), photo mugs, magnets, calendars, ornaments and postcards, but no 4x6, 5x7 or wallet photo prints. The closest thing to a 4x6 is a postcard on 14pt matte cardstock: 20 for $18.99, though the 6x4 size is delivery-only and the 7x5 is the one you can pick up the same day. Order same-day items by 12 pm for pickup that afternoon.

If you've seen articles about photo kiosks at Staples, check whether they're about Staples Canada, which is a separate company.

FedEx Office

FedEx Office answers this one itself. Its FAQ says: "FedEx Office no longer offers everyday photo printing." It still makes photo posters (a 10x10 on glossy photo paper mounted to board is $27.99), canvas prints and photo cards, and its postcards come on 100 lb cardstock, but there's no stack-of-4x6s option.

Office Depot and OfficeMax

Office Depot is the one office store that still prints regular photos. Its glossy prints come in 4x6, 5x7, 6x8, 8x10 and 11x14, listed from 29 to 39 cents each, up to 100 per order, for pickup the next day if you order by 2 pm local time. Its old same-day photo print item now says "no longer available," so plan a day ahead. Not every store offers it, and reviews on the product page are mixed on quality.

FAQ

Does Staples print photos?

Not regular photo prints. Staples' print shop makes photo canvas, metal and mounted prints, photo mugs, magnets and postcards, but its website doesn't list 4x6 photo prints. For 4x6 prints, try Office Depot (next day) or Walmart, Walgreens or CVS (same day).

Can I print 4x6 photos at Staples?

Not as photo prints. The closest product is a postcard on 14pt matte cardstock, which is card, not photo paper. Staples lists 20 postcards for $18.99, and the 4x6 size is delivery-only.

Does FedEx Office print photos?

Not everyday photo prints. FedEx Office says it no longer offers everyday photo printing such as 4x6 or 5x7 prints. It still makes photo posters, canvas prints and photo cards.

Does Office Depot print photos the same day?

No, the next day. Office Depot and OfficeMax print glossy photos from 4x6 to 11x14 for pickup the next day if you order by 2 pm local time, and not every store offers it. Its old same-day photo print item is listed as no longer available.

Where can I print photos the same day?

Walmart Photo prints 4x6s for 18 cents with 1-hour pickup, most Walgreens stores offer same-day pickup on prints from 29 cents, and CVS offers same-day pickup on select products ordered by 7 pm.
