Could someone recommend several venders to produce a good quality 24x36" print
Could you give me plusses and minuses of two venders for comparison sake
Also are there size limitations
Quality is more important than price to me for this particular picture
My pic will probably be about 50Mb Tiff

Whitewall. I have used others but settled with them because in my opinion, their product is the best.

I second nhastings recommendation, I tried a many vendors and was never satisfied with any of them, except White Wall, I find their products to be very good. (nowadays I only print my own)!

Bay Photo Lab and Mpix are my go to Print Labs. Mpix's software is easier to use, the Bay Photo ROES taks getting used to.

a description of a 50 mb tiff doesn't help. It would be better if you posted the dimensions, in pixels and if it is color or black and white, and if the 50mb tiff file is 8 bit or 16 bit.

Whitewall, Bay Photo, American Color Imaging, Black River Imaging...cannot go wrong with them...and several more. A 24x36 is not all that big. As Gene indicated, just saying 50MB Tiff does not mean much.

Tks I thought that at a given standard resolution, giving the 50 Mb size sort of defines what the pic size is, assuming that its not weirdly skinny or fat Is that not true?

What kind of print? On what kind of paper? On metal or canvas? Some are better at certain types of printing than others.

It also might be somewhat helpful to know where you are.... after all, this is the "world wide web" and there are folks active on UHH hailing from all over the planet.

For example, if you're in the U.S., you probably don't want to use a lab in Africa or Japan.
