Default Where to Print

I dont have a nice printer, but once in a great while want to have a couple shots printed. Whom do you guys use if you don't print yourself?

My mom uses Costco for lots of her competition prints and has always been pretty happy with the results.

I use www.whcc.com
In all honesty, I heard Walmart does excellent quality as well (although I've never tried it).

I used to use a little local shop. The photographer closed up the retail side to focus on the actual photography side so that option has gone away.

So, recently, I did use the local Walmart for some 8x10s. I'm very satisfied with the results so far.

I've actually heard Walmart does better than some of the known print places. Crazy.

I wouldn't be suprised if the equipment is very similar. For a big house, I'm sure its just running the print through the process, no 'manual intervention'

The advantage of the small local shop is that we could chat about the photo/effect of what I wanted and he'd help do some post-processing if I needed the help.
