Photo enlargements / posters

[stevie_b]

I want to get some pictures of the Clio and other cars blown up to a big size to stick on the garage wall. Not your everyday photo enlargement but something at least 3 foot by 2 foot or so, maybe printed onto canvas. Has anyone ever had any photos done by any of these online companies they can recommend were good and/or are well priced?

Thanks

Snapfish are pretty good.

Please dont use tesco/asda etc their printers are shocking!

If not then goto ur local specialist camera shop they are bond to have a good set of printers.

If u want one that size the pic will need to be excellent quality - like over 10megpix for it to still have good effect anything less will distort

I had a poster printed up at Staples, quality was pretty good, dunno about a photo tho

I've had loads done at specialist printers on the high street, pretty good stuff usually.

Cheers. The pics are from a 6 mega pixel camera. It's a pukka SLR (D60) though so the quality should at least be as good as those 10 mega-pixel compacts I've seen recently. In TIFF format it's about 20 MB per picture - I guess there is probably somewhere I can look up how big a file can be printed at what size without too much degradation before I take the plunge.

There's some cheap canvas printing on ebay that I'm going to try nect time!

Last time I used a company based in scotland - sounded like a run from home business lol but quality and service was great

Will have to dig the email out next week...

Still quite expensive getting canvas done though. Think I paid £40 for a 20"x20".
