I don't have a Costco membership, but Sam's Club offers similar
services. 11x14's are 2.87, 20x30's are 8.96. I have no idea what the
weight or thickness the paper is on those, or what the colors look
like. I expect you won't pay a lot more from any online source aimed at
consumers.

In all honesty, it's because I'm as broke as the Ten Commandments. I'm
in a bit of a catch-22 where I can't afford to do my own prints
unless I
sell enough prints to be able to do them. It's going to be
hand-to-mouth
for the foreseeable future, so I'm forced to do things in the least
affordable way in order to have any hope of ever being able to do it
affordably.
But, if I ever do get to that point, I'll be sure to look into those
options. But, for the time being, it's beyond my grasp until I can claw
my way within reach.

If you've got a Costco nearby, you might look into a membership.
Their photo-lab is reasonably good. I use them pretty much for
anything 12x18 or smaller.
As far as pricing, the school solution where I went to school was a
print sells for at least 4 to 7 times your cost, otherwise you're
losing money.
Thanks, John.
The pricing is what I'm most curious about. I figure I can go with the
low end of the scale starting out, and limit my prints to a fairly
small size for the time being. I doubt I'll do many prints that are
very much larger than 8x10 for now. If I can order from an online
printing service with a good price/quality reputation and have them
shipped directly to the buyer, I'll be happy. I'm not quite ready to
start doing gallery-quality prints, but I'd like to be able to offer
nice photos for people who may be interested in buying a print of any
of my photos that they happen to see.
It all boils down to the fact that I'm going to have to crawl before I
can walk. It's going to take a little time, but I'm OK with that.
Thanks again for the input!

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
