I'm looking to have 4 photo's printed off to small poster size (best term I could think of... ). The digital pic's which I wish to have printed are 4256 x 2848 jpegs.

Pixmania offer a 20"x30" (50x75 cm) enlargement for £10.84 each - those of you who have used them; do they offer a good service, what's their print quality like, and is this a good price?

Also, having in mind the picture size (4256 x 2848) is there a maximum size whereby print quality will start to suffer?

Thanks

Fotango http://photos.fotango.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi do a 30x20 print for £9.99 plus £2.08 P&P I would say they are the same quality as Photobox but it takes a little longer to get it



Cheers

I used to say that quality suffered when images were printed out below 180 ppi, but I have seen very good results from images at 110ppi. As you're around the 140ppi mark with yours you shouldn't have a problem.

50 x 75 cm at 180dpi equates to 3543 x 5314 pixels, so you shouldn't be too far off that with your image.

www.pixaco.co.uk are absolutely brilliant, £12 for a 30x20 glossy poster and the quality is superb. See my thread below for more info.
