If I want to have a photo printed as a poster or maybe make up a poster from photos.. wheres the cheapest place to have them printed?
 
May not help but regarding your second option.. rasterbator could be worth googling. I had a poster size print from a scan recently.. if I remember who did it i'll post them as it was fine.
 
Photobox have a buy one get one free offer on poster prints!

Enter MAYPOSTER into the voucher code thingy!

Cheers,

I use Photobox a lot - good print quality, just watch for damaged prints though as they don't seem to take much care when packaging the larger ones.

I've also used Togsprint.com , higher quality but slightly dearer than Photobox
 
Cheapest...

Aldi 30"x20" 7.99

Price List


I got some 8x10's done and they came back not to bad and printed on koday paper.
 
I've used Intelligence Direct a few times for posters and for stretched canvas prints. Prices are some of the cheapest I've found and the reproduction is excellent.

I am liking the aldi alternative though - it's a great little shop with trinkets to please everyone!
 
never used photobox but have used foto.com, come from Germany but very inexpensive, fast turnaround and good quality. they're the company i use for printing when clients buy my ltd. ed. prints.

Hi Carl,

Interested in using these - you say "o.k", on a scale of 1 - 10 where would you put the print ? (10 been perfect quality)

thanks

I used posterxxl when I think they were pretty new, they were offering some good deals so got some A3 size prints done. I thought they were good prints at the time (good few years ago) and looking at them again now they do look like VERY good prints :) This was before I understood about sRGB and all that jazz, so just sent in jpegs from an un-calibrated monitor and the shots came back perfect, which was either luck or they do check what they are printing and get it right. The turn around was good (though this was a few years ago, they could be much bussier now I guess). They came from Germany, were printed the day after I ordered and shipped same day, got here a few days later.

For the 1-10 scale thing I think I would have to give them a 9 - only down side was it might have just been luck that I got good prints :p

yea posterxxl IS foto.com, just a subdivision of their huge company :D
i must admit i dont pay too much attention to sRGB, etc. except for giant prints or company stuff...i think they do ensure they print it as how it 'should' be, have done about 30 canvases with them and colour seems good match every time, and about 20 posters, same for those.
