Suggestions on getting a custom sized/shaped poster printed?

[Louisa911]

Hello

I have a digital photo image sized 5600 x 3100 pixels (landscape) that I would like to be printed approx. 700mm by 400mm, to then be framed for the wall at home.

Can anybody suggest anywhere to get something of this shape printed for a reasonable price and without having to call up the company and arrange? The only site I've come across with an online quote brough up £75 as a quote, which is way over budget. Ideally somewhere I could upload my digital image to their website, pay, and await the arrival in the post!

Cheers

Umm can you not just print in a larger standard format and get a guillotine out to trim to size?

Could do yes, but I don't own a guillotine and you pay for the bigger size. Being a wide and not very high image, I'd pretty much be paying for a third of a sheet unprinted on.
Was just asking to see if there was anywhere obvious to save the hassle and money.

700 millimetres = 27.5590551 inches
400 millimetres = 15.7480315 inches

Photobox 30" x 20" = £17.49

30 x 20 + any art/craft shop or picture framers + money for a pint

No?

Yes but you'd end up paying much more for a custom size, if such a thing existed.

As said, choose the next size up, select 'shrink to fit' and then cut to size. You don't need a guillotine, a ruler and craft knife will do.

Of if you can't bear to waste anything, how about planning another photo to fit in the space?
