Where to go to print out large pictures?

[KhoiFather]

Like pictures you take with your camera, where can I go to print out large prints to fit in a frame? I know there's no printer out there that can print larger then 11x8.5 without costing a fortune. Is there a place or website you can send your prints to and have them print out large pictures for you?

My guess is you'll pay around $7-10 per square foot if you go to Staples, Office Max or Kinko's. You should be able to choose glossy or semiglossy paper.

Anybody?

Local mom & pop camera shop would be my first suggestion. A year ago I had a 12 x 36 panorama printed out for about $12 at one.

How about your office's copy room sometime after 5:30pm?

Do you want someplace online that can do this for you?

Which ever place is gonna be cheaper and print out amazing quality pictures

What size are you wanting to print at? Consider taking your photos to a small printing company. Most will easily be able to print something under 11''x17''. Anything bigger and you'll need to find a printer that specialized in larger format work. Some specialize in large format prints that can go up to 4'x50'

Something like 20"x30"

What you'll need to look for is a custom digital photo lab...some place like this.. If you live in or around a decently large city, you should have no problem finding a place like this in your area.

Unfortunately, I have can't recommend any online printers.

a 20x30 is 15$ before shipping and you arnt gonna find anyplace cheaper, the quality is good as well, ive had images printed at that size from my D70 and they look fine, just take some time in PS or whatever you use to make them the correct size and whatnot and you wont have issues

for any normal sized printing i recomend http://www.mpix.com/

I use Adorama.com for prints, mostly larger prints so far (8x10, 11x14, soon 16x20), and they have a sale right now for 16x20 prints for $5/each. If you wait around a bit, you can get on a sale for $0.99 8x10s and $1.99 11x14s that happens periodically around various holidays.

I've had good luck with them, and the service is prompt. They had a printer problem on one batch I ordered (faint line on the prints), and they reprinted and sent the whole batch again immediately.

I've also heard good things about mpix, but I have never used them.
