lucky my local school does it 30"x whatever... I think the largest I've done is a 30"x56" (since the widge is max 30", the length can be as long as you want it to be)

And they use a chromira machine to print these, so it's not costco's ink jet. It's actual chemicals to yield the best results! (Yes, this means you can wash the prints). They use Fuji Archival Lustre paper all the time though.... Free prints is included in the tution 🙂

When I went, it was 160 a session (each session consists of roughly 12 weeks? ~ a semester) and you can take all the classes you can handle there... they have classes everyday except friday, which friday is just lab day and studio day.

I think now the price is up to 180 bucks/ session...
 
i need someplace internet based. No costco or kinkos anywhere close to me, i live in the boonies. actually 29 of the 30 closest costcos to me isn't even in the USA and are all 2+ hours away
 
im well aware of all of this however seeing as its not an option because of where i live i need an internet based soloution

if i could id just print them myself but i lack a darkroom and a color processor

Most of what you're going to find above that size will be inkjet of one kind or another.

For actual photo processing, I've always gone to Allied Photocolor, the gold standard for photo finishers here in STL. Their website isn't much to look at, but depending on your budget and needs they should be able to set you up with lightjet (aka Lambda or "c-prints"), inkjet (giclee if you want it to sound snooty) or traditional silver halide up to about 48x96 (might be larger for their inkjets).
 
Hey Anubis.
Not sure if you found someone as of yet...I use FinerWorks.com for my large format prints. They do up to 48x60 if I recall correctly. Just make sure you select from their Giclee prints as opposed to lab (I think 20x30 is max on all their lab prints). They do giclee on canvas and papers.
