Interesting thread. Not trying to hijack the OP, but I have additional questions for respondents. I would like to print a number of 125 year old B&W images that are in public domain that were scanned from the glass plates. I would like to get copies that are as true to what original prints would have looked like. I've got some original prints from the negatives. Some are a matte finish on a fiber paper and some are matte on heavy non-fiber paper. Would like to print them no bigger than 8x10 for commercial sale in a shop. So, reasonable price is a consideration.
Go to White House Photo's site -

OR
Millers -

White House was a little more reasonable than Millers - more so on the shipping side of the cost. But either way you are not talking a lot on the cost per print.
They both have many different print options. You may see what you are looking for there. They are for professional photographers and will give you high quality prints - of course, what goes in is what comes out so your scans have to be exceptional to get exceptional prints. Keep in mind that if you are starting with a print smaller than 8 x 10" when increased to 8 x 10 any small deficiencies in the original will grow with the increase in size.
Of course, do a test run with one print and see the results before you commit to multiples of 125 prints.
