Sorry if this has been asked before, i coukdnt find a thread about it.

Anyone have any recommendations for place that do large prints?

Prefably i'd like a company who can accept 16-bit tiff's or png's, and not just jpegs

I don't think anybody's mentioned them yet, but I'd recommend Photobox.

I'd be interested to know how you get on submitting 16-bit images. Will there be a noticeable improvement in image quality from an online printer?

Thanks for the recommendations guys.

Not sure if there'd be any noticable difference in giving them 16-bit, but since i shoot raw i really dont want to compress everything into jpegs. (I have a passionate hatred on jped artifacts!). So if i can, i'd like to give them the best quality file to print from.

Will give photobox a try later

Does Photobox accept 16-bit? I know they won't touch RAW files.

Which software are you using to work with the image?

If you're using Photoshop, a high quality, full size jpeg would be just as good as TIFF in many cases, and certainly better than printing a RAW file.

If you're going to use Photobox dig around for a discount code. I think I've got a 20% off code on email at home, you'll probably find one on one of the discount sites.
