Come on guys a drug store, Costco, Sams club is NOT the place for serious photo printing. There are quite a few REAL photoprinters that can do a professional job.
I do put Costco ahead of the other places. Before I started printing my own competition prints and when Costco had in-store printing I would go there because they had ICC profiles to soft proof my work and they kept them up-to-date. Now they were chemical process prints, so the colors weren’t as good as inkjet, but nice prints. As for metal, those are done by Fujifilm and the 16x20 I had done for Mother’s Day turned out very nice. Now I don’t know the money situation, but the OP is looking to get 8 20x30 metal prints. At Costco it’ll be about $800. Most of these other places will be $2000+. Now if the money is “built in” then shoot for the moon. Otherwise, Costco will deliver a nice print.
