Flickr To Offer Print Service

Finally…

Flickr, the online photo service owned by Yahoo, is gearing up to launch a new print-on-demand service.

Flickr will partner with Qoop to offer a service that lets users select photos and formats to be printed into bound books.

Those who want to publish books can sell their books on their own Web sites or through online ads, including a link that takes the buyer to Qoop for payment processing, ordering and fulfillment.

This is great news. I’ve been wanting to be able to sell some of my photos online for some time now, and I hoped Flickr would do something like this.

Anyway, It’d be good if the end user could also have the choice of choosing which photos he wants to print and buy, with the original photographer getting a cut of the payment.
