Choose Photo Paper Based on Your Preferences
Are you eco friendly? Really, really green? More traditional? Or are you out to dazzle? Lifephoto offers you great choices — traditional prints, metallic prints or eco-friendly photo prints. Here are the differences — choose based on your digital photos and your preferences:
1. Traditional Photo Prints used by professional studios.
Lifephoto’s full-service photo lab offers digital photo developing on top-of-the-line photographic paper. 
Kodak E-surface paper has a matte surface that minimizes glare. These are Lifephoto’s most popular prints. Photographic paper ensures the richest, clearest images possible in sizes up to 20 × 30″. This is the same paper used by professional photographers.
2. Digital Picture Printing on Metallic Paper
Print your exceptional pictures on Kodak metallic paper in sizes up to 20 × 30″. Metallic paper enhances colorful or high-contrast pictures, 
turning them into striking prints. Metallic images have a subtle reflective quality that defines a picture’s elements and makes them pop. Saturated colors give metallic images an almost 3-D look. Metallic paper is tear resistant.
3. Eco Friendly Printing on Recycled Paper
Minimize your environmental footprint by choosing Earthtru™ eco friendly picture printing.
Why Eco Friendly Photo Printing?
- Portion of paper is post-consumer material.
- Flat finish enhanced with gloss.
- Eco friendly picture printing is chemical free.
- Prints are recyclable.

Rechargeable Batteries for Cameras, Cell Phones and other Electronic Equipment — Extend Their Usable Life
I use rechargeable batteries for my digital camera, but have never thought much about the charging process … until I did some Earth Day research and found these tips on call2recycle.org. It seems there are some do’s and don’ts I’ve missed on how to get an optimal battery charge. See what you think, then pass the information along on Facebook or Twitter.
Rechargeable Battery Tips
TIP 1
Follow the charging guidelines provided by the manufacturer. There are specific battery charging times recommended for each individual product prior to using it for the first time.TIP 2
Never return a fully-charged battery to the charger for an extra boost. This will actually shorten the life of the battery.TIP 3
Do not leave your rechargeable battery in the charger when not charging.TIP 4
Let a battery cool to room temperature before recharging.TIP 5
Recharge batteries only when they are close to no charge.TIP 6 — Recycle
When they no longer hold a charge and it’s time to buy a replacement rechargeable battery, make sure to recycle your old one! To find a drop-off location nearest you, call toll free 877.2.RECYCLE or enter your zip code here to find a recycling location near you.

Recycle or Throw Away Old Camera and Cell Phone Batteries?
Have you given much thought to what environmental impact old camera batteries (and other batteries) may have if you just throw them away? 
I really hadn’t until I began doing some research on Earth Day — and I was surprised at what I learned. Let me share with you what I discovered about Lithium, Alkaline, Button Cell and Rechargeable battery disposal and recycling from the Energizer, Duracell, EPA and the Call2Recycle Web sites. Includes an easy locator to find a recycling site near you. continue reading
Depending on how old you are, you may not even be aware of what Earth Day is and why we celebrate it. Earth Day was a big breakthrough for the environment in 1970 and for those of us who had to live on the Earth, drink its water and breathe its air. Today?
It may be an even bigger deal — certainly we have come a long way in 40 years, but we aren’t there yet.
Do Photos and Photo Processing Affect the Earth? You bet!
That’s why Lifephoto is careful about choosing the most eco-friendly equipment, processes, inks and paper. Our photos are made of partially recycled material and are themselves recyclable.
