GCU Forum - Target Rollout Update

Sandra_133229 Gold Member artist Posts: 786	Re: Target Rollout Update - Need Your Help Reply #15 - Jul 26^th, 2012, 10:12am Candy, Only the Target stores with a Photo Center can print our cards. My nearest Target store is not listed either, because it does not have a Photo Center. We have a kiosk to print photos, but that does not constitute a photo center. Hope that helps.

To date there has been no discussion of this. It is probably too early. I will though make sure it is on the discussion list with Kodak. Thank you, Mike

Candy,

Sandra is correct in that all Target stores do not have a photo lab and not all Target stores have the Kodak duplex printers. The store you mentioned is not an available store. I do not know the exact reason but I think a good guess would be that the store is not equipped with the Net2Retail system. Only around 1,100 of the 1,763 Target stores are so equipped.

Sorry it took me so long to provide my feedback, but been busy. I had some cards printed at
Target a few weeks ago.

200 Promenade Blvd
Bridgewater, NJ 08807
(732) 868-8333

I was pleased with the quality. Card was centered, white border even, and inside was aligned properly.
The center fold of the card stock that was used was not exactly perforated, but not your traditional fold that you see on most cards. Not sure what I would call it. Although most of my cards are set up to print as matte and that's what I ordered, the paper has a slight gloss finish. Not complaining, just wondering if the customers will still have that option. Overall, I was pleased with the quality and the service.

It is the Target at Mt. Nebo Point in Pittsburgh. Is it still available? Thanks, Sandra

If a Target is removed it is usually due to the printers being down or some sort of maintenance that is being done. As soon as everything is working correctly the store will become available online again. Kindest regards, KC

Hi, I finally got the opportunity to use the Target printing service and I am very pleased with the outcome. The man at the counter said I was the first to have this done! I thought I was going to be really put off by the white border but it isn't as obtrusive as I suspected it might be. I don't get to Target often but I would not hesitate to use this service again. I used the Target store in Vestal,NY.
