Printable party pack from etsy?

Hi all! Planning dd's princess party for Nov and I just bought my first printable party pack from etsy.  Seems like a much better bang for my buck :)

Where do you get the best results printing? I don't want to use our home printer and I do want to have everything look really good.... Do I just take it to kinko's and have them print color on white card stock? Is it best (most economical) to bring my own or use what they have? 

Basically, what's the best way to get this done? I am clueless on this. I'm printing invites, favor tags, and water bottle labels....  

TIA!! :)

    Ditto PP. I printed them at home for the first time I did this and for all the ink I used, it would have been better to go to Office Depot and it was much better. That is what I did the second time I did this and it was much better.  The paper was something like .20 a sheet and they actually didn't have as hard a paper/card stock as I wanted, so maybe a kinkos ? Anyway, still, its very easy. 

    My unsolicited advice it to print them where they also have a blade cutter. I printed them and took them home to cut (b/c Office Depot charged .10 a cut -as in, if it took 4 swipes of the blade to get the invitation cut, they would have charged me .40! - so ask about this!) and my scissor cuts at home were not as straight as I would have liked.

     This is definitely the best way to do it. Shove them in an envelope to save them for the next kid or party!
