If I do, I just print them myself. If I want a big print, once in a blue moon, I have it made professionally. And lately my favorite printer is...Blurb. Of course it is no good for single prints, but I find more often than not that what I need to print is some body of work consisting of several images, and a book is just the ticket. This also has the advantage that while wall space in the house is limited, I can always find space on the shelf for another book.
