I will definitely look into Adorama. I have some really nice photos that I want to print photo-quality and frame and hang on my walls.

When someone sets up a new account with AdoramaPix (which is FREE!) they get 25 free prints. Many people use these free 4x6s to order some prints on all the different paper types. We usually recommend that you print something that you have already seen in print, that way you can compare. The only paper type we don't offer in a 4x6 size is the Silk, but if you'd like to email me with your mailing address, I can pass it along and see that you get some samples.

Generally, the silk paper is very well suited for any kind of portraits, especially formal portraits like wedding shots. It delivers lovely skin tones and has a very delicate texture to it. It's more matte than our Lustre paper. The Kodak Endura Supra Lustre has a slight sheen to it, not as much as the Metallic or Glossy, but it's a good all around paper, a very fine surface texture and closest to "semi-gloss."
The Supra Matt(TM) might be a good choice also, nice rich blacks and good detail with no texture to the finish - it depends on your subject matter, and personal preference. Set up your account and order some prints for free and see for yourself.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Lol. I once complained about the quality of some prints I'd had made at adorama on fatwallet.com.... Then I got a PM from the director of adorama's photography service offering to reprint everything I didn't like for free. and wanting to know which photos weren't printing well so that he could fix that for the future.

While I knew they checked in on their feedback & comments on fatwallet, I didn't know that mentioning them on another forum would summon them from the depths of their printing presses to comment.
