But, before we do, say \u201c<strong>Truprint<\/strong>\u201c one last time. Go on. Try it. \u201c<strong>Truprint<\/strong>\u201c. In fact, strike a pose. Your best pose. Hold it. Smile wide. Now say it.&nbsp;<strong>\u201cTruprint<\/strong>\u201c. Bring back any memories? What about \u201c<strong>Free film every time<\/strong>\u201c? Try that instead. \u201c<strong>Free film every time<\/strong>\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a while in the \u201980s and \u201990s, it seemed almost everyone and their dog said \u201c<strong>Truprint<\/strong>\u201d at one time or another. Especially the dogs\u2026 And those envelopes we all used to send our precious film off to be developed in? Do you remember the TV ad? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7k0AKi9tDt4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><br><br>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truprint&nbsp;was a household name and a trusted friend. The kind of friend you invited to&nbsp;<em>all<\/em>&nbsp;of your special occasions. It\u2019s likely they were there when you were born. They were probably invited to your first birthday, but thankfully didn\u2019t have to clear up afterwards. They probably saw your first steps, shared your first holiday, beamed with pride on your first day of school, shed a wistful tear on your last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From your firsts to your lasts and everything in between, they were probably there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, you&#8217;ve probably got the photo packaging in the loft right now, on that photo prints pouch with the red, yellow, green and blue word&nbsp;<em>Truprint<\/em> printed across the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many of us, those photo print envelopes held treasure, or at least the promise of it. Not treasure in the form of gold or jewels, but treasure in the form of something with far greater value. Memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/old-truprint-wallet-720x424-1.jpg\" alt=\"Truprint Photo Printing Wallets\" class=\"wp-image-16816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/old-truprint-wallet-720x424-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/old-truprint-wallet-720x424-1-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once-only, never-have-another-chance-to-record-it memories, all expertly preserved in the physical form of photos. Lovely, glossy, wonderful photos. Photos of you maybe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were magical moments, miserable moments and mundane moments. There were picture-perfect moments. There were picture-imperfect moments. There were plenty of happy and not so happy accidents. It was all of life, unfiltered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember it? The careful removal and posting of the film? The unbearable fortnight wait until it magically re-appeared again, transformed into a slick, green, chunky envelope shining on your doormat? The eagerly anticipated opening? It was a process filled with apprehension, excitement and wonder. And you did wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You wondered whether Auntie June\u2019s head would be missing again. You wondered whose idea it was to put the tall ones at the front. You wondered who was secretly smearing your lenses with butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/free-film-wallet-720x424-1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Printing with Truprint\" class=\"wp-image-16819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.snapfish.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/free-film-wallet-720x424-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/blog.snapfish.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/free-film-wallet-720x424-1-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would there be sun squint, red eye, eyes elsewhere, eyes closed? Would little Johnny be biting his finger nails? Again? Would things be too close or too far or too dark? Would there be thumbs?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Not that it mattered. You got a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.co.uk\/free-prints-app\" target=\"_blank\"  aria-label=\"free film (opens in a new tab)\">free film<\/a><\/strong>. There was always next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s almost impossible to imagine now. Not in the Digital Age. Imagine taking a picture and having absolutely no guarantee that what you thought you saw would be what you\u2019d actually get. Now you see what you get instantly and, if you\u2019re not satisfied with it, you can change it in a hundred different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It makes us sad because we loved all of that. We loved the uncertainty, the not knowing. We loved the variety and we loved the honesty of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So, like we said, it\u2019s time to say \u201c<em>Goodbye<\/em>, Truprint\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goodbye, because that time has truly gone. Like all things, who and what we were then is not necessarily who and what we are now. But looking back has helped remind us of something. Something very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The photo printing business is and always has focussed on delivering been the honest, genuine, faithful, exact reproduction of your pictures. We still love paper. We still love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapfish.co.uk\/photo-printing\" target=\"_blank\"  aria-label=\"photo printing (opens in a new tab)\">photo printing<\/a>.
