Come on over to Altoona, Pa. You can get them made at The Film Center.

I've used Adoramapix.com quite a bit. Good prices and great prints. Sometimes they run great specials like $5 for 16x20 prints.

I signed up for Shutterfly.com and got my 50 free 4x6s. They seemed to be good quality.

Not sure of the exact size, but around the size of a piece of computer paper. Moved into a new apartment and want to put a few of my own pictures that I really like up as well as some of another or two...

Walmart. Seriously.

I did get a few 4x6's that were darker than I expected though.

So (in the US) 8.5"x11"? I use my own kiosk at Wal-Mart or Kroger grocery store. Wonderful prints you can't tell the difference from a film print since they use a laser to develop the photo paper. Fast and you can take your time with it plus the price is butt ass cheap (will work with CD/DVD/Mem sticks).

I've done some of my less important printing at Walmart. They do a decent job (though I got a really dark one once).

I just prefer Adoramapix or one of my local shops because I get the feeling that they'll pay closer attention and make sure the print comes out right.

This is exactly what I do at the kiosk. I would never leave my photos with any dumbass at Wal-Mart having worked there a few years back I know what NOT to do.

No I mean I have my own printer (Epson R2400 Photo Stylus) that specializes in B&W, and it has paid for itself over and over again in the last 2 years.
