Printing Photos (US)

[bjarvis]

The last chemical film I'm planning on ever using is currently being developed; I'll collect my prints this afternoon on my way home from work.

The Olympus digital camera Kent gave me for xmas is an absolute delight! Well, except for the damage to sensitive electronics and the DNA of everyone within the blast radius when the nuclear-powered electronic flash goes off. Outside of that, it's fantastic!

Since I like keeping prints & photo albums (albi?), now I have to determine the most economical way of printing my photographic treasures. CVS, Ritz and Moto Photo all seem to charge $0.26-$0.29 USD per print for small numbers, $0.19 USD for batches of 50. Clark (www.clarkcolor.com) is charging as little as $0.11 USD for 4"x6" prints in batches of 50.

Is there some other service I should check out? Anyone have experience dealing with Clark (my current front-runner)?

All advice gratefully sought and will be rewarded in either appropriate or inappropriate ways, as is (in)appropriate.

not much by way of advice here, I've been sticking with Walgreens and their .19/.29 prints. It gets damn expensive, I had about 300 pics from the Maine trip last fall, multiplied by getting multiprints for my Ma and Aunt :P I'll definitely be interested to hear if you find something better here.
