Most of these industrial sized color printers expect 72 pixels per inch. I resize the images in something that can do a windowed-sinc filter, such as the Lanczos filter in ACDSee. Photoshop, for some odd reason, still only has a bicubic filter which is not nearly as good. I don't let the printers do the image resizing, because god knows what they would use.

I haven't looked around at photo services much. They all have one of the 3 or 4-foot wide HP or Epson inkjet printers, which are fine. Even the cheap ones you buy for home use are remarkably good these days.
