I'd like to buy five photos or postcards which are exactly 6 inch by 6 inch to cover up some unsightly marks on a corridor wall.

Is there any custom print sites that could do me a short run like this?

I checked with moo.com but they said their standard size is always 4.13" x 5.82" and can't be changed.

Any help guys? The pictures can be of virtually anything, as long as it looks nice in an office building.

Photobox do 8"x8" if that's any use?

This place does 6"x6" prints:

http://www.club35.co.uk/digital.html

I've never used them but someone on here recommends them.

If you ordered from somewhere that doesn't do that particular size though, the solution would be to create an image file with your chosen photo filling the 6x6 portion and blank space filling the rest, then cut off the blank part of the print when it arrives.

Why don't you just order 8x6 and cut off the bits you don't need?

Those two sites are great, thanks guys. 8" x 8" will be fine

I've noticed that you can upload *any* images onto the site.

What's the best repository of free images that I can browse and choose from (preferably categorised)?

And any recommendations for your favourite images?

If there are no particular images you want on the wall, then how about putting some mirrors up? They'll bounce light around as well as cover the areas of wall you want to hide. And allow staff to tweak their moustaches or whatever as they go past.

Nuh-uh. As much as I love Steve's stuff, I think 6x6 will be selling them extremely short.

Unless he meant 6' rather than 6" biggrin
