Do you offer posters (2' by 3' and larger) to your customers?
Where do you order them?
I'm looking for acceptable, yet affordable quality.

Do you mean actual posters (printed on regular paper) or do you mean a large print?

For large prints I use Millers. For a consumer lab, Mpix has given me really nice prints as well.

Yeah, I mean actual posters on paper. Like the stuff everyone had on his wall from Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Cindy Crawford etc.

I know I can order very large sized photo paper prints on from Smugmug, but this is getting way too expensive.

Redneck added 2 Minutes and 30 Seconds later...Double Post Merged Below

I just found something: http://us.posterxxl.com/cgi-bin/xxl.cgi

Anyone ever used this one?

Costco in Plano has a new Epson 7880 printer that produces BEAUTIFUL pearl 20x30 prints for like $8 or $9 - I sent a 12Mpixel image from home to test it, and it's fantastic for the price.

Perfectposters.com uses a much heavier paper.

I had a few prints made at Mpix, and the quality was fantastic.

Their metallic finish is awesome.
