While I've been printing on my own printer for nearly a decade, I've been ordering prints for the past 2 decades.

Running your own printer is VERY involved (not some Plug&Play HP Laserjet) and services are cheap, with the above quoted advantages.

Print services are the best place to start. Well, unless you are looking for a time-suck of a highly multi-variable machine processing non-linear amorphous material.
