Printing Large Panos - 10-21-2007, 09:47 AM


I am looking for a company that can print up to 2'X6' or 3'x5' Panoramas. I found this place that only goes to 2' high, anyone know of other companies that can print taller panos, like 2'+?

Here are some places you might want to look into. I haven't actually used any of them, but saved links from some DPR threads where they were discussed for future use:

http://www.myphotopipe.com/index.html
http://www.pixeloutpost.com/

One that I have used is http://www.perfectposters.com/ and my impression of the quality was mixed. Not bad for the price, but the fact that they don't have a color managed workflow and they print using dye inks on non-swellable paper means that the prints probably won't hold up to fading all that well. The print I got from them had excellent detail reproduction, but the color was a bit off.

my results from perfectposters have been spot on. They are using standard HP inkjets. Their website gives all the technical stuff.

they charge by the square inch and have no preset size limits, which is a major reason I started using them.
