Sony shuts down Imagestation sharing and printing service

**hyedipin** · 09-15-07, 11:19 PM

Just got the following in the e-mail, looks like it didn't survive. I ordered a few times from them in the past, they had very nice prices on their prints and had decent quality, nothing major but it was nice for occasional prints and large size posters in addition to mugs, etc..

They also had a deal with CVS stores, where you could order online and pick up at the closest store within a reasonable time printing process.. Anyway, it's all gone now. Let me login and check if they've got any closeout deals on mugs, etc..
