Default Suggestion for getting 8x10 prints

Does anyone have any suggestions of places to get quality 8x10 prints made? Have to get between 50-100 color prints for a band's press kit. We would prefer an online vendor if possible. Otherwise we are in the Chicagoland area.

Thanks.

I personally use Mpix.com, but a lot of other folks use other places. WHCC.com is another good one.

MPix and AdoramaPix are both highly recommended around here. I use Mpix almost exclusively.

Another vote for mpix and adoramapix. They're both great, compare their prices and special deals on bulk orders.

I use Mpix too. As a matter of fact I just made an order yesterday and got an email this morning that it has been shipped.

Another Mpix vote. I had some prints made at my local store and I was not happy at all with them. I had the same shots printed at Mpix and they came back great. It's worth the little bit extra to have them adjust the color and contrast too.

Believe it or not...had good luck with Costco. Decent quality, good prices, easy uploads, pick them up locally
