Yes
As above.

Any one used the large print as I know they are on inkjet, wondered what the quality is like.

I have a 30x20 order and not sure if to keep to DSCL or go with Digitalab as I know they do photo prints at this size.
 
Just read this on another thread:

"DSCL up to 18"x12". Peak Imaging for big prints because DSCL use inkjet for their big prints which I'm not a fan of"

Not sure if that helps you though! ;)
 
I've used dscl for a 24x16 poster print. It was o.k...I'll be trying alternatives next time

o.k. to the level of supplying it to a client?

if not I will just use Digitalab for the llarge print, its a 30x20

It was for a client yes, promotional poster for a bodybuilder, and of sufficient quality that he was more than happy.

For one of my portrait clients, I'd be much more comfortable ordering a large print. I've never used peak imaging before, but just looked, and their 24x16" photo prints are cheaper than the 24x16" inkjet poster print I got from DSCL.

I've used digitalab before but nothing that large, I have no doubt that they will do a great job, but would indeed be the more expensive option I think.

I think it was only going to be £5-6 inc postage more than the DSCL option, not a lot when you think about it. Think I will stick with Digitabal for now and do a few test from DSCL at some point.

Thanks
 
Good choice :)

Peak imaging is the cheapest of all of them and a photo print. I've never used them before, is there a reason why you're not?

Just check their pricing for prints and DSCL is way cheaper.

Never looked at the until now but they have some nice things I would definately look into incorporating into my offers.
 
Robbo I use Peak imaging for prints 20x16 and over as DSCL only ever used to offer larger poster prints separate to the reprint area so two delivery charges we applied, just daft. Hence my reason for using Peak.

I have always been impressed with their large prints and they come rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube. Well worth a look I don't think you will be disappointed mate.

Cheers mate.

There are a few thing on there of interest like the triptych and framed prints etc so will get some tests printed off as I need some updated products to show
 
Just repeating what others have said really - DSCL are excellent for prints 18x12inch and below, can't fault them - their larger aren't quite as good though and I always use Peak Imaging who are excellent

Generally speaking professional inkjet/giclee prints are usually of higher quality, hence they are a bit more expensive.
