Hey. I have an image of a photograph illustrated and I'd like to get it printed out poster size. Does anyone know of a good place that will allow me to upload the file, get it printed at a somewhat large size then ship it back? I found two places and they kinda seem shaddy. I want nice quality on good stock ya know.
Thanks in advance.

Ohhh how cute! You finally printing that poster of you and Flav? well first you have to be careful because whenever you send a file of you naked with some other dude 'playing' naked some printers might actually call the authorities, even if it is just a St. Valentines day present for his room.

oh!- another source i have had luck with before i just remembered. if you know anyone at an architecture firm or the like, they usually have those high end plotters that will run your own flat sheet through. get them to print it for you if you supply stock, maybe?

Never used these guys before, but the prices are insanely low. Its worth a try.

prints have to be done locally. seriously. there is so many press checks and color problems etc etc.. go local for sure. unless it's being digitally printed, and if you only need one or something large format on an epson would be fine. but the stock choices wouldn't be as wide if you did offset. but if you did offset, it's be way more expensive because of all the paper you'd have to buy to get a set of 100-500 prints. but yeah. go local, unless it's digital, because with a digital print the quality is going to be less no matter what.

in terms of digital printing and quality that is misnomer. A lot of magazines have gone to digital offset...it is cheaper and the quality is the same.

i don't like digital printing.
and i get a lot of emails about if my work is a real print or something that came off a digital printer (and well, no body likes the idea of the digital printer). hahaha. and i'd be upset if i bought an art piece that was digitally printed. but that's a personal thing i suppose.
so yeah.... i personally do not like it. and we could both link up tons of shit on the pros and cons of both.
- commercially....i'd say most print work is done digitally now. maybe it is an artistic thing.studderine
- its digital...therefore the gamut is much larger than traditional offest printing.studderine
- i wouldn't go that far.. most stuff i see is done offset, even if it's just for mass mailings and/or brochures/etc.. short print runs or tight deadlines is usually when companies go the digital route, and even than! they usually get quanity 1000.. give those out because of the tight deadline and go back and get offset prints done in 5000 to a mil done offset.antigirl

with that said.. i will be doing my new business cards digitally because it is going to be a lot cheaper (the cards i just ran out of cost 50c each) and well, as much as those get handed out over stupid reasons, i am not paying 50cs each again.
