bjarvisThe 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.

I don't get lots of prints (in the numbers you're talking) so the fairly standard 17-20c per 4x6 print works out fine.
however, if I'm gettign a large print, to put up on a display somewhere (and those exhibition displays have a lot of acreage to cover with pictures), what I do is get the cheap 4x6 prints, and then take 'em to a colour photocopy place, where they blow 'em up to 8.5x11 (or close to) for $2. For a total of $2.20, you can't beat it for a large print. Did that for the group photo of the students several years, and it's relatively cheap.
