I print any size my customers want. I 're-print', a lot of stuff customers have had printed at CostCo, WM, some of the office supply stores. Remember, there is a reason they print so cheap, it's called, 'media'.

I'm looking for a professional service that offers specialty sized printing - like 20 X 12. I'd also like a source for super sized prints, significantly larger than the traditional poster. I've looked at a number of online services, and though they have a variety of offerings, none seem to cater to the odd size.

Suggestions appreciated.


Check out MPix.com.They are offering free shipping if u spend at least $15.00.I have always been happy with their work.

I'm a big fan of Whitewall, a German firm. They also have a 5/10/20 % off sale right now.

That's a great deal...looks like I'm going to be busy tonight finding things to print. I can feel my pocket book getting lighter the more I think of this.

I'm already a user of theirs...I just didn't know they had free shipping until tomorrow. I've got a whole bunch of stuff queued up...and was waiting for a decent sale.

I use them. I think you can specify that you want the whole image to print, so, for a 20 x 12 picture, you'll have to choose 16 x 20 inch paper.

I'm not too sure but one of the major print processors doesn't print glossy above a certain size. Don't know if it's Adorama.

If you want to go big, check out meridian, they will print up to 10 feet wide for you (and still stay under $100).

Here is a place I use:

http://84signshop.com/

I'm fortunate because I happen to live just a few miles down the road from this shop.

They do very good work any shape or size. They can print on any surface and ship inexpensively all over the continental USA. They are particularly inexpensive for custom sized canvas wraps. The only down side is that they do not do high gloss finish. They explained to me that the ink they use is a "mat finish." I don't understand that?

They are very good at getting the colors correct. The manager once told me that "If you provide us with TIFF files to work with we will never have a problem with the color."

He has also done excellent work on a few JPG images I sent him.

Good luck.

I have also used Adorama Pix for few years. With the exception of lost print once (11x17), they are really good in both metallic prints & metal prints.

Or you could set up the picture so that it fits on the next size print with crop marks and bleed trim. You might find this to be less expensive. I already own an exaxto blade, cutting mat and straight edge...but that could be because I'm a Graphic Designer and those are standard supplies for me.

I just use mpix.com. I do this for my 11x17 prints (use 12x18 standard prints). That way I can use their awesome metallic paper prints.


I also use this method by expanding the "canvas" in Photoshop to the next standard print size then trim (or matt) to the image size.
