Get ready. This new and strangely-named print service allows you to easily create photo books and posters from your Flickr account images. You can’t customize things too much, but the design is clean and it’s simplicity moves things along a lot faster. It’s only in Beta right now, but be sure to check it out. And if you order one, let us know how the quality is.
