dixie Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Do any of you take passport photos? If so, is it a worthwhile service to offer? I am thinking of offering this service and need some advice on suppliers of cameras etc. Any help/advice gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 We recently brought a kodak digital camera with printer dock. when we print out pictures (on kodak photo paper) it allows a choice of multiple images on one print (passport sized) As more and more people go digital could this spell the end for this service..... thoughts?
