Printing online poster size......

[Lynton]

Hi there,

As the title says - I am looking to print one of my images "BIG" (for the wife's office!) - so have googled, "Print posters online" and literally zillions of pages, so just wondering if people on here have done similar (of course they have), if so, who did you use and what were they like Customer service / Pricewise / Quality wise..........

One thing that is important is that the 2:1 aspect has to be maintained...... so custom sizes are important.......

Ideally looking for either around the 200g sq m size for paper, and something around 120cm x 60cm.......... (orig file is 4664 x 2332 pixels so this should be fine.)

Photojack.tv seems pretty good at the moment, price wise and ability to do what they say they will do, but recommendations from others greatly appreciated.

Don't want canvas (have one of those on the wall already!) Rather impressively I banged the hook in this afternoon and hung it without measuring and it's 1/32" out of dead centre. (Yep I measured it afterwards. 4r$e about face or what!)

Many thanks



Lynton

Im interested in this too - I need a A0 one printing soon I did find

www.saxoprint.co.uk - good price 240g paper!!

anyone used them for A0 prints?

 

[Lynton]

Yeah, but as I said in my OP... 2:1 Aspect ratio needs to be maintained and saxoprint cannot do that, so no use to me this time round.......:shrug:

Simples!

Blame the hairy bikers! Went to see their show, bought the t-shirt!

Haven't worn it yet (bit tight!)

Wife says I am a hypocrite until I pointed out, actually "I don't own any leggings!"

Try these. http://www.aldiphotos.co.uk/ I use them quite often and have always been very impressed. Quality paper, looks exactly the same as the image i send them, fast turn around and very reasonable.

To get 2:1 ratio you might be better off printing it with borders and cutting them off yourself. It opens up a lot more possible suppliers.

Thanks Merc but they don't do custom sizes........... so no use to me and want bigger than 30x20 so Chris's suggestion isn't a go-er on that one as well.

Chris - considered that option, and may well do as a last resort. but I am crap with scissors / scalpels and straight lines............

You could try dscl

Used them for the first time this week for smaller prints, but impressed with quality and service.

Carol, thanks for the link, but it seems they cannot do the size or aspect ratio I need.
