Hipstamatic iOS App does prints too

Hip Ecosystem: Hipstamatic and Hipstamart make your cool photos even cooler with a new print servicesWhen we reviewed the Hipstamatic App  some time ago we were impressed by its robust feature set, ease of use and clever array of film, lenses and flashes that enhanced pictures by giving them a retro look and feel. Hipstamatic has grown into a culture with its own ecosystem which has expanded to include the Hipstamart printing service.

The photos are finished nicely in matte and printed on Fuji Crystal Archival paper.
