I have a photo printer but would like to have larger (24X36 max) prints. Would anyone have any companies that they would recommend?

I know there are several pretty good ones out there, but I chose to use mpix.com . They have never disappointed me.

Got it and thanks for the info and quick response.

Full Color. I’ve used them a lot in the past two years and have been very pleased with them.

Cool deal, it's time to get these photos off the harddrive and on the wall.

That's really good, I've been looking for a good printing company.

Some local UPS stores, FedEX/Kinkos, Office Depot/Office Max stores will make inkjet posters that size.

Traditional professional photo labs will often print wide format inkjet prints. They probably top out at 20", 24", or 30" on the narrow end of silver halide chromogenic paper. As I spent decades in the industry, I can recommend these, in no particular order:

Millers/mPix
H&H
White House Custom Color (WHCC)
Bay Photo
Full Color
American Color Labs
United Promotions, Inc. (UPIlab)
Nation's Lab

There are dozens more... Google 'professional color lab' to find one near you.

Shutterfly probably does posters, too.

Unless you calibrate and profile your monitor before adjusting or evaluating color, do not assume that what you see on your monitor is what you get on the print. All modern color labs use ICC color management to keep their equipment in control. To match what you do on your computer to what comes out of the lab, you must use a colorimeter or spectrophotometer and its accompanying software to calibrate and create a custom profile for your monitor before making color adjustments to your files.

Most labs want JPEGs in sRGB color space. DO NOT submit TIFFs unless you communicate with their technicians to get approval. DO NOT use Adobe RGB color space unless they accept it.

Some boutique and high end gicleé service bureaus will allow/recommend/even insist on 16-bit TIFF files in Adobe RGB, but they are rare and usually deal with high end professionals and art photographers. Unless that describes you, stick with JPEGs in sRGB.

I use Meridian Pro for 16x20 on metallic paper. Great results and I'm sure they do larger

Printique by Adorama, just consistently rated the #1 printer lab in the USA. I have used them for years. They do it all.

White House Custom Color and BayPhoto are the ones I've used.

I've had at least two dozen 16x24 prints done by Nations Photo Lab. Send them the data online and in a couple days they'll have it back in the mail on its way to you. Very satisfied with their quality and service.

Great information and thanks for the response.
