photolabs with custom size prints?

bucz · 7 Sep 2012

Hello everyone...
I'm new here and I hope you can help me...
I need to print one of my pictures in not normal size which is 200x70cm. I have checked google trying to find some photolabs in UK but almost non of them print that size. The only one I found is http://spectrumphoto.co.uk (they do custom sizes) but i dont know if they are any good...
Do you know some good photolabs? Any help would be great... Thanks

I've got the same challenge, and I think I've solved it!
Find a standard paper size that is a little bit bigger than the size you want.
Then in Photoshop increase the image canvas size to match the printed size.
Now there are no instructions needed, simply tell them to print it!

I thought about that but still could use some recommendations of a photolabs. Which are trusted with good quality and print even bigger photos?
Cutting that size could be a nightmare if you dont have tools for that... I struggled with 70cm

We use Dunns Pro Photo, you just select the next size up in their online ordering and pop a note on the "special instructions" box that you want it at the specific size. They'll cut anything to order.

I checked Dunns Pro Photo website and it seems that the maximum size i can get is 30x40" which is not even close to what i need

Give them a call... the do a lot of sizes that aren't on their website. I've ordered 40in plus sizes before.

I sent them a message on fb and they do custom sizes, so if anyone is looking you can try them. They said they can also send some paper samples... I'm just waiting for undecided customer to make up his mind... Thanks folks for your help...
