Thoughts on online printing?

[Stieglitz]

For snapshots using Kodak (foremerly Ofoto) online might be OK, but I'm looking for really high quality for digital prints, especially given the superb resolution of Leica lenses on an M8. Sure, I can print myself via the computer but I don't have "super printers" and the HP on my desktop makes nice images --but I want much more. Like museum quality 20x30 prints.

Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts about how to do this? It seems to me that a super digital camera ultimately needs super printing.

Thanks in advance.

I've used A&I (www.aandi.com) for a 16x20, and was impressed by the results and will continue to use them.

You can prep the files and use their direct-to-print service to get it printed on their LightJet enlarger. A 16x20 is about 20 bucks. Their custom prints are more expensive, that's where they do color corrections and prep the files themself.

Good work, decent prices and they ship quickly to me.

Here's a second thumbs-up for MPix.com. They have nice B&W Ilford printing and bound Proof Books that look really nice.
