Go to 7-11 to print out the scenery in your eyes and send it to your friends!

On the way to travel, I always want to send postcards to my friends. The most frequent one is the first time I went to Japan for an independent excursion. I sent more than 100 postcards from Japan back to Taiwan. At that time, Japanese supermarkets didn't have the function of printing postcards, and I didn't like to buy local postcards, so I went to a photo studio to develop the photos of the memory card, and then affixed special postcard stickers on the back (it was still popular in those years). Kind of stuff.) In Japan, like ydobasi or bic camera stores, it’s not hard to find photo printing machines, but after the supermarket in Japan provides the function of printing photos into postcards, go to the supermarket to take pictures of yourself. The photos were printed and sent back to Taiwan and it became the pleasure of my trip.

(When I went to Korea, I couldn’t find a place to develop photos at all, so I had to take a local postcard-style DM or send it back to Taiwan with a postcard I bought, but there was no “scenery I saw”!)

When you can't go abroad, you can also take pictures of the beautiful scenery around Taiwan and send them to friends in different cities or countries during small trips on the island. I think going out to travel is at least a good little luck/little luck for Taiwanese people during the epidemic.

After playing postcard printing in Japan, I found this service at 7-11's ibon not long after I returned to Taiwan, so as long as I go out to play, even if it is just a day's ride to Tainan, Chaozhou, and Pingtung, I will print it. The scenery on my way, sent to my friends.

The camera I use in recent years is the Canon EOSM50. The ibon camera supports reading memory cards or flash drives, but because my memory card has too many files, it is very slow to read. Fortunately, it has a built-in wifi function. The photos in the camera will be transferred to the mobile phone, and then uploaded from the open point app on the mobile phone and then printed. (Of course, you can also upload the photos taken with your mobile phone directly, but remember that the image ratio must be 4X6 to print beautiful postcards. Otherwise, there will be a lot of white borders~~ The one taken with iPhone12 upstairs has a demonstration, below This photo was taken with a camera in a 4x6 ratio.)

The following is the operation method, learn it, next time you can print out the scenery in your eyes and send it to your friends!

First download the open point app and apply for an account.

Then click "ibon service" at the bottom of the screen and select "ibon print"

Select "File Upload" , then find the photo you want to print, tick the green tick and click OK (up to 8 files at a time, 10M)

Then it will pop up to let you see what photos you have selected. After there is no problem, press "Confirm Upload" . If you want to modify the arrow in the upper left corner, you can go back to the previous page and reselect. After pressing confirm to upload, you can choose the "pre-selected specification" so that you don't have to choose again when you go to the store.

Select "4X6" for the pre-selected specification and press the specification to confirm. Then you will be given a collection number , and the QRcode will be clicked on the right. You don't have to write it down, just find the 7-11 ibon machine and open the app. (It's time-limited~)

7-11 should not be difficult to find in Taiwan. After you find it, enter the store to find the ibon machine (usually next to the photocopier) , and remember to tell the clerk, "I want to print." The clerk will turn on the machine for you.

Because I just didn't have a registered number, you have to open your openpoint app → ibon service , it finds a "payment agent" in a strange location (I am an iPhone8, the location is super weird), and then select "to ibon operation" The "Pickup Number" you just uploaded will appear, and if you click on the right, its QRcode will appear (I use QRcode)

After finding ibon, go back to the home page, find "Print/Scan" and select "Pickup Number Print"

Then there are two options: "Enter the code yourself" (that is, the serial number of the pickup number) or the option to scan the QRcode on the right. Then put the QRcode of the mobile phone on the scanning position according to the display on the screen, and then click the green "scan" , and the photo you just uploaded will appear.

Each one has to be clicked to select. (Confirmed again, but I think this feature is a bit tasteless.) The selected photo will turn green and click Next.

Then jump out of the preview, you can look at it for a while and press next.

Then select the number of copies you want (the number of copies of the photo you selected, that is, you have uploaded five photos, one is five, and two is ten) and then click "Direct Print" .

After confirming the details, click "Confirm" and the printing will be sent.

After printing, ibon will spit out the details and ask you to pay (forgot to take XD). The printed photos are printed from the photocopier. Don't look at the ibon machine for a long time , just bend over and look at the photocopier. I have your beautiful photos. (It must be 4X6, otherwise it will leave a lot of white edges and it will be ugly. XDDDD)

In the past, the back of this paper would be printed in the format of a regular postcard, with the frame of the stamp and the dividing line of the address. Now the back is white, but it is still full of writing. Water-based and oil-based can be written.

Of course, you have to have five yuan stamps (I remember that 7-11 sells stamps, you can ask, I have them in my small purse), and your friend's address (I have many people's addresses) write down Taiwan's postage is not necessarily in the green mailbox (different counties and cities should be divided into foreign and local) foreign postage is not necessarily (I kindly help you screenshot) and then vote in the red mailbox "air mail" ! (Add a note: the wording of air mail)

This way you can send the scenery you see to a friend. (It will arrive in about three days on the main island of Taiwan. If it is fast, the next day, it will be two more days on weekends)

I haven't organized my photos for a long time, and I was asked about "composition" again. It seems that I can write about "composition" again. but! The scenery in your eyes is unique, everyone's vision is different, I think your friends will understand!
