I have an Epson R2000 which will do 13x19 so you could print two per page and cut it. I'm experimenting with Red River paper which seems to be working.
while i'm sure Brent's work is good, i just don't see the need to send out for something i can do myself with a little effort and have it immediately, especially since the original poster already has everything needed to accomplish the task at hand.
i mean, honestly, when someone says they just bought a coffee maker and wants to know how to make iced coffee with it, you don't send him to starbucks.

Once you figure in the cost of paper and ink, and upkeep, it's not really worth it.
In keeping with the 13x 19 advice, I've always used Red River, nice variety and, of course, they're local. A lot depends on what you want to print. For black and white I really like their "paper canvas" which also accepts colored pencil and pastels pretty well, as I recall photo oils are "OK" but not great. With my Canon S9000 I dial down magenta 5-7 clicks with this to get a fairly good neutral B&W.
Thanks for all the suggestions - part of this is really just for my own learning. I suspect that when I get a good understanding of how everything works I will feel more comfortable sending work out.
