Hello all. I am trying to get ~300-500 color prints of a flyer for a college club. The thing is . . . the price quotes I see for color copies at kinkos and such are just outrageous, averaging $2 a copy and going up. Anyone know any service online, or any place to look in real life, to do these prints semi cheap? Trying to get them done by Thuesday night :( If it matters, I am in Chicago now, and in West Lafayette on Wednesday.

P.S., I know $2 a copy is the going rate, but considering I can do these photo realisitc on my canon i850 for ~10-~20 cents a pop including ink and paper, it just seems absurdly high. I would have zero problem doing 300 prints also at those prices, if not for the fact that these will get wet since these will be outside, and ink runs.

That's even worse. $2.50 a page for 8x11. The cheapest i've been able to find is $1.20 a page. I was REALLY hoping to get this down to ~$0.50 a page, if not less.
