Agree with most...if for low volume, and if ultimate quality isn't important, printing on a home printer is fine. I own a Canon I850, and it has served me very well. I have produced some very nice 8x10's with it for some of my local showings. HOWEVER, for volume, or even enlargements you can't beat the price and quality of Costco...$.13 for 4x6's, and 11x14's under 3 bucks. You can upload and pick up later in the same day. Hint: turn off auto correct, especially if you are happy with your exposure, and having a calibrated monitor will also help. For pro level stuff, we use (my wife's a pro photographer) Century Color Labs in CT [
www.centurycolor.com] and for really nice fine art watercolor prints Connecticut Photographics [
www.ctphoto.com] Nice folks at both places, and they'll ship to out of towners.
