I collect photos of a theme and have the files printed up in a photobook. At the moment I'm working on a 'Sunday Driving' + Dilapidated Farm' book.

Yes, I have an Epson R3000 printer and print using only Inkpress Luster paper or Gloss Canvas. I get very good comments on the printing and a number of my framed photos have sold at charity auction.

I don't do my own printing anymore. I get two day service from WHCC, cheaper than buying inks and paper, easy online ordering, a huge selection of services, makes life a lot easier.
I do my own matting and framing.

Of course I print. 8x10 or 11x16. Used to take them to Sam's but they're closing their print shop and telling people to take them to Walmart. The only reason I paid for my Sam's membership was because of the photo processing! Oh well.

The trouble is Clapton plays like Clapton, not me. I have my own expression or style, (the way I like it, the way I want to communicate it), when someone else does it, it is never the same. When you get Clapton to do it, you get Clapton, not you. But I see your point, it is a matter of time, you have better things to do.
That's why I work with a custom printer, with whom I work closely. I never send printing of to a giant lab.
More expensive? Yes. But to me and my clients, it's worth it.

COSTCO = that is IF one is in your area. Even Walgreen's is better than Wal-Fart..... At least in my area.

Yes up to 13x19 but mostly print the sensitive ones such as Fine art figure and implied nudes, not sure what Costco would say if I sent them there? the rest I also send to Costco.

I do print but just use my home printer. I'm not a pro just an enthusiastic amateur. :-)

Not any more. Commercial is now so cheap and good it doesnt pay for me to hassle with the printer and ink cartridges, etc.

No, I don't print. I order online from Swann Photo and pick up at the local photo store (yes, they do still exist!)

Lots of dilapidated farms in historic South Carolina. Here's a couple you might enjoy. We still have slave cabins standing since the war of the yankee aggression and reconstruction.
