This topic was posted sometime ago, sorry I did not make notes. Preparing to have a number of prints made for a show, too many for me to make at home with my Epson Printer. Looking for quality prints, many will be large e.g. 13 x 19. Receiving several suggestions will give opportunity to compare price. Doug

I have most of mine done by Costco.
Very pleased.

If you don’t have a local service, The Darkroom in San Clemente CA, is an excellent service.

MPIX PRO is outstanding and very easy to use if you have clients or for personal use. https://www.mpixpro.com/

Bay photo is a pro service. Not lowest cost but top quality.

Thanks, will begin follow up research and sampling. I am surprised Costco mentioned, always expected same low cost, moderate quality similar to SAMs. Would be great to find high quality at lower cost. Doug

I think you need to find a printer. You need good quality prints for the show, and someone you can work with to get the look you want. I am sorry but that may not be real easy. YMMV. Someone in you area is preferred over “mail order”, for obvious reasons. But you might be able to get a “mail order” supplier that meets your needs as well. I suggest you start looking now. Go to different places and talk to them, or email them, give them sample files to print and evaluate the results.

Or you could just order from Costco. Nothing bad about Costco. They make millions of prints for family photos and they do good work for that.

Don't "show" but sales, donations, and gifts, yes.
If I showed, I would.

Bay Photo, and you can cut the cost substantially if you have a calibrated workflow with their profile and don’t use their color correction services.

I have had excellent results with large prints at Sam's Club.

I found Costco to be fast and good. I was able to order 46 12X18 and get them in 1hour and 15 minuets.
