This offer looks top johnny banana AdWright :thumbs: - I have never ordered anything like this & would like to get a few of my pics done - Without sounding too thick what is the best size to go for (biggest?) or does it depend on the image / quality etc - What do they print onto i.e. what quality paper can you expect - Any help greatly appreciated ... Paul ;)
PS - Should this thread not be in the Bargains Forum?
If it matters what type of pic here is one of the ones I was considering having done "super-size" ...

If you're going to frame behind glass, go for the matte finish.

In terms of quality, the more pixels the merrier for the large prints.

Last time the offer was on, I had this pic printed at 30"x20" and it looks great. Taken with my 20D and submitted at full res (8.2MP), I think it worked out at 200dpi.

Just make sure you can get a frame for the size you have printed.

Good point markp - AdWright did you frame yours & is 30x20 easy to get frames for?
Paul ;)

Try "The Range!" http://www.therange.co.uk/

Nice try Janice but no Range Stores near me unfortunately - I just need to know if the 30x20" size is a "standard" one that I will easily be able to pick up some frames for or if I'd be better with a different standard size (A2 or whatever)
Paul ;)
 
I bought a 30 x 20 inch labelled frame at the range and it is actually made to metric sizes - 700mm x 500mm picture size. Meant taking the scissors to my print but it wasn't a problem in this case.

Don't like the sound of that :nono: - Me & scissors not a good combination :cuckoo: - Lots of places around that'll do a custom frame I suppose if needs be (?) ... Paul ;)
 
Ikea do frames suitable for a 30x20 print. The only thing to check is the cut-out size as you might need to add a border to your print, unless you want to lose a cm or so behind the mount.
 
Yeah, don't do what I did... I spent a fortune on a 1m x 1m print and can't get a frame anywhere for it :bang:

Min - Exactly what I'm trying to avoid :bonk:

Thanks strax - wifey has suggested a smaller size print after discussing where we could actually hang them in our titchy bungalow :embarrassed:

Paul ;)
 
One bit of advice when frame hunting..............taketh a tape measure! :D
 
I might live to regret saying this (if the prints turn out to be rubbish :embarrassed:) but I decided to sign up to Photobox today & found when I did that I was eligible for 30 free 6"x4.5" prints :clap: - I uploaded some pics & put in an order for 18 of my 30 free ones & they have processed & dispatched my order already :eek: - That's what I call service :thumbs: - Just got to decide what large size prints to go for now :help:
Paul ;)
 
They are certainly quick. I uploaded 100 shots at 10:45 one night.
At 11:15 I got an email saying it had been dispatched.

Shame there isnt a post at that time of night so they in fact took another 2 days.

Ask for a calibration print along with your order. If you match your monitor to this...all your prints with them will look ok... mine match perfectly.

Janice - Thanks for the tip about calibration :thumbs: - good to hear good service appears to be the norm - slightly OT I was looking at FastFrames (.co.uk) for A3 size frames & they look good price & quality wise - Any dealings with them (Janice or anyone?)
Paul ;)
 
Paul dunno if you got sorted with frames or not, but I have recently contacted Frametastic, a local company based in Aldershot. I have a quote for my 1m x 1m frame and it is much cheaper than anywhere else.

Cheers min - I haven't got sorted but "we" have decided to go & look at some frames (probably at the hell that is B&Q :gag:) - happy days :help:

I just used this code about an hour ago to order an A2 poster of some artwork my son made for me for Mother's Day and have just had an email to say it was in the post! Now that's fast! Thanks for the code and the link!
