Happy with large prints from El-Co Color Labs - 03-22-2006, 03:03 PM


I got my two 20" x 30" prints today after ordering them last Thursday night. The color, sharpness, detail, and overall quality of the prints are very good. Others here have said they are happy with the prints they received from El-Co so I thought I would add another recommendation. The only real issue is to get the low price you have to select from only 5 print sizes under the "Internet Only Specials". There is no 24" x 36" option. But, for only $10 for a 20" x 30" print I'll live with that restriction!

I've used them a few times for 20x30 prints and only one came out poor, and that was my own fault, somehow the image I saved for printing was badly pixelated and I never noticed it, shame on me!

I've printed four 30x60 prints through them and was very pleased with the results.

David, unfortunately they are shipped rolled. Also they are printed on Fuji Professional Crystal Archive paper, not poster paper. I guess they're called posters just because of their size.
