Just an idea - photo shops (online or real shops) can do
prints on real photo paper (the stuff real photos are done
with) - for these shops it doesn't matter whether the
picture comes from a digital camera or from a graphic
program like GIMP.

I don't know what the costs are where you live - here it is
a few Euro-cents per 10cm*15cm (4" by 6") print.
