I've scanned a bunch of pix, touched them up, and inserted them into a monster
word document: 52 pages (26 sheets printed 2-sides).

It's a high school class reunion booklet.
Printed on an HP 4600dn, using pretty-good paper it looks quite nice.

But now I need 75-100 copies....

Unfortunately, doing 100 copies on the 4600 I used for the draft is not an
option.

What can I look for out there in the reprographics world? What kind of prices
should I expect?
 
save as PDF, bring to Kinkos.

I found that Kinko's even has an online order service: upload the
..PDF, and they do the rest. The hitch was price. Roughly $.50 per
side.

Found another outfit at www.nationalcolorcopy.com who got it down to
about half that - but I can't get anybody on my end to approve the
price. We're talking about $15.00 for each 56-page booklet.

My window is closing timing-wise, so I guess I'll just have it done
locally in B/W....but I'm also looking at printers for next time.
Seems like something like the HP4600 is really fast, but it's
consumables cost an arm and a log. OTOH, I tried a TecTronix 850 here
at the office that takes little lumps of wax-like stuff at about $60
per lump. It's quality/speed is definately less than the HP...but so,
I'm guessing, is the per-page cost and the quality is good enough....
