New to UHH but I hope someone can give me direction on having my work printed. I know Walgreens here in Winter Haven Fl does a good job. What I need are some 8x8 prints. As I said I live in Winter Haven and I don't know of a good on line or local store.

Just crop your prints to 8X8 in whatever PP program you have and then have Walgreens print 8X10 and trim. I would do the same with watever lab you use. If you have them do an 8X8 the will charge you fro the custom work. - Dave

I have been using Adorama, love their results.
Great customer service.
I had them print a slew of 16X20's for a customer, One print was just "off" a little, they reprinted it and mailed it priority , no charge.
Reasonable prices, a ton of different papers and finishes, and good turn around.

Winkflash has good prices for prints and their shipping is very reasonable.

For everyday prints that I want immediately I use Walgreen's for glossy prints and Walmart for matte prints. For me they are within two blocks of each other and within a mile of my house, so that's hard to beat.

Also, the 8x8 image printed on an 8x10 and then trimmed is the best solution.

Buy a printer and do it yourself. It's a lot more fun, and you can control the output.

How many prints do you plan on printing in the long term?
If it is going to be a regular thing, I think a cheaper option might be to buy your own cheap Pixma printer, use Canon PP201 paper and Canon ink and print your own. For A4 and smaller I use an iP3600 and cannot fault it and you get to control the paper and ink used.

Use MPIX I have also used national labs. Both have been really easy to use and the photos are really nice looking
