I’ve been asked to produce a custom sized photo for a unique space at my church, 30 x 60”. The idea is to portray the steeple of both of our historic sanctuaries in black and white for display in an elevator narthex. I’ve decided to convert my B&W files to charcoal drawings because I like the effect for this display. I would like to print the final image on acrylic or glass...so the question is who’s the printer I need to deal with for this medium and size? I’ve attached a file that represents where I’m at with the project at the moment. All advice appreciated.

I have used Whitewall and Bumblejax. Both do a great job, and offer slightly different surfaces. Good luck, Andy
Sorry i have no printer recs. But I do have a couple of suggestions. Most print labs with let you send in a smalled cropped area of your image for a reasonable priced trial print. Its a great photo and I like charcoal look. However. I would have them do a trial print on canvas or a matte finish to compare. Seems more appropriate to me. Also you might try adjusting the distortion that has the steeples non-parallel.

Artisan HD lab outside Phoenix. They can direct print to the backside of acrylic or do an encapsulated silver halide print behind acrylic and backer panel options.
