It's been a while since I've looked for a printing service. Please
recommend anyone you have had good experience with. I am looking to get
a high quality, 20x30 B&W print. I need a service that will let me
upload the image (I'm betting that most do this). mightyimaging.com is
one that popped up when I searched. Anyone have experience with them. Is
there any process that is especially recommended for b&w prints. Do you
need more info to make a recommendation?

TIA

I've had good results using Costco. but, you have to be careful with
sizing and instruct them about cropping. I usually call after I submit
to follow up with telephone instructions.

Unfortunately there is no Costco in my state AFAIK. WalMart does
printing, but I was looking to get a better looking print than what I
have seen them do on their HP Printers (which aren't half bad on color
prints). One online printer uses lightjet and another process, but it
has been a long time since I made any big prints (about two years) that
I really don't even know what process I should be looking at to make a
"wow" type print (assuming my image is up to the task).

Too bad they are not convenient for you. You can get low priced, or free
snacks while waiting.
However, they do mail order and use a photo processor. I don't think
they use archival inks, so don't count on a 400 year life for your
prints. You can also download the profiles and specify the machine they
are to print on. I think they have a very reasonable satisfaction policy.
