Getting photos printed

With the money I have put into the new camera, the software, the time put into working with the photos... in photoshop, etc. Where do I get my prints made so they will be decent. I mean, why put the time and effort into taking awesome pictures if the print quality is going to be sucky?

do you have a ritz or wolf camera there?

for family snaps that is what i would use. my printer is a professional printer so it's not available to the public...alternatively, if there is no ritz/wolf i have heard ok things about mpix.com.

some people like costco but i'm kind of partial to wolf/ritz. i trust them and have had good results personally.

Tracey, who is your printer?

I use a local photography shop or mpix. Mpix is reliable - the quality is really very good. Definitely as good as my local company.

Skip all the cheapo ones (shutterfly, snapfish, kodak, winkflash) - they screw up the basics - like, oh, skin tone

I've had hit or miss luck with Target - but not something I'd use for an album, kwim? They did print our easter cards one year and it was perfect -but Jack's birthday invitations were crap.

Hey - Heather - can you PM me your addy again? I misplaced it
