Having images printed as posters

[andyquantum]

Anyone have a recommendation for good quality poster prints? I want to get a couple made up and put them in the office (no need for canvas).

I'd ordered one earlier in the week but didnt really give me what I was looking for (literally the image printed at 1.5 times onto an A0 piece of paper with a 12 cm border on one side)

So, sites where can upsize a decent res image and put it into landscape and print with say a 10mm border equal all round?

www.Photobox.co.uk are great to 30" wide. Cheap, next day delivery a lot of the time, and any probs they fix FOC.

If you want a border, you'll have to add it pre print.

Wot E sed!


I got two 30" x 20" prints (and messed up the border first time round) from Photobox from D2X files - 12 Mp RAW at 12-bit. One colour, one monochrome. I showed them to someone I was working with and the next minute sold a further 30" x 20" to a firm in the City (when they had money for that sort of thing) to put on their wall - it was that good. (200% profit margin, btw )

Photobox are pretty damn high up in quality and service and speed in my humble opinion.

No - A big insurer, with US connections, starts with the letter "H" and they bought a monochrome of the road to Monument Valley!!!

At about 15 Guineas from Photobox, I have to say (and everyone else who's seen it seems to agree) that they did a lovely job of it.
