What are print clubs?

Purikura. Since the English term makes no sense in English, it's
probably best to use the Japanese.

I think you could write it as "photo stickers made" without loss of
meaning.

"Print club" seems to merely be a poor translation...

"Purikura" is the Japanese shortening of the word "Purinto Kurabu" (Print
Club), hence Michael's choice of the word in the text.  Perhaps a compromise
here... he should made a footnote or something to clarify this for those
readers who aren't aware of what one is...
