Can someone tell me where I can buy print copies of images.  Professionally done?

I wanted to put my images in a book for previewing.  I need to know where I could get my images professionally done.  Anything besides Walmart, Eckerd, CVS.  Can someone tell me where?

Thanks!

I've had good results with printroom.com so far, although I've sent them about half a dozen shots so far.

Shutterfly.com - very good results for me.

I second the recommendation for mpix.com
I used to use shutterfly but their quality wasn't what I liked. Mpix is run by Millers Labs and they're well known for their top quality wedding printing.

I use SmugMug.com and the Lustre prints are perfect for portfolios.

Third vote for Mpix.com.  I have had excellent results from them from model shots, portraits (B&W and color) and nature photography.  Only caution is that when placing an order, as one of the last steps, you have to choose the paper for the entire order, so you'll need to separate orders for B&W and color into two orders from the beginning.  Their color management system is excellent.

Good luck.

Costco is going to give you as good a print as just about anywhere.
