Best place (store or online or at home) or how to duplicate old photographs? I have lots of old photos that I want to duplicate & give to friends & family. I believe it would be too costly at home with the machine, ink & paper. Anyone have any suggestions?. Mostly all different sizes & shapes from different times.

Pay someone else to do it. Ask a digital photo shop if they are willing to do it for you. They have better drum scanners by the way.

Scan them at home with a flatbed scanner. Print them either at your local photo lab or on-line.
Keep in mind that old photos often have different proportion to a 4x6, so it might be a good idea to leave some blank canvas space around the square prints so the entire photo will fit without cropping when you make prints.

I copies 12 old photos at an office supply store, at $.75 each. At home even with the cost of buying Matte paper it was less and I was able to scan them into photo shop and clean up some blemishes and tears.

Scan them at the highest resolution you can, and put all of the images onto a thumb drive, or burn them onto a DVD and take that or send it to a photo developer. You will have to do some research to find the best prices.
If you do not have a scanner, you can take digital photos of them, but the scanner would be better.

Depending on the quantity, you can scan them on your all-in-one printer or flatbed scanner in a reasonable amount of time. From there you can take the files to any photomat and reprint them.
