Default Printing digital artwork?

I've had some people requesting hardcopy prints of some of my artwork at school and online lately, and I'm wondering what the easiest/most cost-effective way to do this was.

I made a couple of prints from Cafepress.com and this place called DigitalRoom before, but Cafepress' profit isn't worth making the posters (and shipping it out =\) while DigitalRoom upped their minimum order requirement to 100 prints. I don't think I'm popular enough to sell 100 prints at $22 each.. yet XD. Besides all that, there's always this size restriction I have to go about...and frankly, none of my pictures are standard-print size (nor do I want them cropped. Killing my picture size kills my inner child hardcore).

DeviantArt's printing service is just a no.

So, am I being too picky about this? I mean, I suppose I can go look around for some local printing shop here, but I think it might either be 1. expensive, or 2. too inconvenient to get to when I need to.

My media is all digital, so scanning isn't really an issue. As for the # of prints per image, I'm definitely not going to reach the 100-print-minimum... more like 5-6 prints max >_o.
