Where to get a poster printed? (Gift from own photo.)

[GTaudiophile]

My father wants me to give him a larger print of a photo I took.

Instead of 8x10 (hxw), I was thinking something a little larger like 20x26 or something.

What online sites does ATOT recommend for larger format printing?

Thanks.

I don't use anything Apple at the moment...nothing against them, just don't.

Kinko's can do it.

Sign up for Costco online photo service. You can have a 12" x 18" printed for $2.99 for pick up at your local Costco. (Hopefully you can crop it at a 2:3 ratio?)

The cool thing about Costco online is that you can print to any Costco, handy for out of town relatives.

You can also use Costco to print at 16" x 20" for $5.99 or 20" x 30" for $8.99 but then you have to go mail order and add shipping cost ($3.99 for first item, .49 additional items). The 12" x 18" is printed on more of a photo type paper where the 20" x 30" is on a thinner stock (what you would consider poster paper).

They have all sorts of other cool options, poster board prints, mugs, etc... The collage print option at 12" x 18" is pretty cool for printing several photos from a trip/vacation/event, etc.. if you don't feel like doing it yourself in Photoshop.

If you're not a Costco member then try http://www.elcocolor.net/

Don't have a Costco membership, so that isn't ideal. Besides, I need it shipped down to ATL.

Any print shop in the city you live in? Some will even do it while you wait. I realize it means going outside an all...

Consider http://www.elcocolor.net/ then, highly recommended on the photography forums. I had a few posters printed there before I started using Costco.
