Printing Photos

What printer would you guys suggest for printing photo quality prints to give to family, friends, and potential clients in the future? Or for clients, do I need to take them to a professional printing source?

Costco is always great.. or if you don't really want anything bigger than like an 8 & 1/2 * 11 I would go grab an Epson cause I have an R220 (Which is like a 50$ printer) and if I use 10 mill paper it gives me awesome results.

I used to have an Epson R200 and it was awesome, lasted like 5 years. I think my next printer will be a Epson 1400....

The person who did my prints at Costco was just some high school girl, and they came out great.

My teacher printed out all of her photos from a field trip last year at Wal-Mart, and they came out great. From my experience, both of those places use Fuji crystal archive paper.

Sneak into a local university's printing lab.
Only works until they realize you don't actually take any classes there.
Then you just take a class there.
