I want to do a larger print of this photo a 20x24. Who do you use? I usually go with a canvas or if a print Shutterfly, but not this time, they don't offer 20x24! Actually I want 20x20, but figured custom size would cost even more and I don't really want to spend an arm and a leg...


You might try American Color Images (ACI) in Waterloo, Iowa. They do all my competition prints. Great results and service.

Me. I use an Epson P6000 for anything larger than 8.5 X 11. I am not in the printing business, but I do print some for local friends/organizations. I use either matte or satin, depending on the original and intended display. I downloaded you photo, and the extreme sharpness would make, I think, an excellent print. If you are interested, send me a private message and we'll talk about it.

Printique (formerly named Adorama Pix), Yes part of the Adorama family. They are the best reviewed photo lab in the USA by far.

I use Whitewall - they are actually in Germany but turnaround is pretty quick. Quality is terrific. I send all my stuff there, and can pretty much do any size you want. Their website is whitewall.com.

Many good suggestions here already. I'll add two more that I use:

Obviously, frames are their main business, but top-quality printing as well. Start-to-finish if you want.

And -

I've made some beautiful - and large - acrylics with them.

Ive been very happy with Costco. I have a calibrated monitor, use their ICC profiles for paper and printers and the results have been great. When I first started I tried some of the others to compare. I couldn’t tell the difference. Only limitation is they only have a few large sizes but 20x30 for $10 and free shipping is great.

I've gotten 20x30 canvas wraps from Costco taken with a Nikon D7100 APS-C sensor. I had them make a few adjustments. The prints were sharp and very well exposed. Right now they have a sale.

Bay photo and Mpix. Recently ordered a batch of 11X14s and they were perfect, and got them in 3 days.

There used to be a hundred good pro labs in this country. The ones that are left have to be good to survive.

Try Canvas HQ. I've used them many times and they've always produced a quality product.

I use Walgreens for large prints in standard sizes. They do a great job. They frequently have big photo sales. I believe here is a 40% off sale going on now. For odd size prints I use nationsphotolab.com. Excellent quality and very reasonable prices. (I don't work for them.)

Another thought: if you want a 20x20 you can order a larger print from Walgreens and do the math to end up with a 20x20 within it. There is one trick. Please PM me if you're interested. >Alan
