Where to print a 40x60 + size print. - Need help. - 05-08-2010, 05:24 PM


I'm in Dallas. I'm looking to print locally if possible, but maybe even and online lab. I need to be able to make a 52 ½ in. wide X 40 ½ in. high. That's massive, so I was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction. Smugmug doesn't offer this and neither does BWC in richardson.

Also, I shoot at 21MP, will this be adequate? I imagine I'll be pushing it to the max.

Thanks.

I recommend Barron's in Fort Worth. They have printed several 40x60 for me with great results

Most of the "big" machines are limited to 40 inch by whatever length, there are some printers that do 60 and 64 inch widths now but if you need more you would need to print it in two halves so you could go to 128 inch wide by whatever length if you do two 64 inch runs.
Inkjet Printers

I do know that there are some speciality machines that print on canvas that they do billboard printing now and those are like 96 inches wide or wider.

I don't want to buy a printer just for this job. Hoping there's a service for this.

The 52 1/2 inches is no problem, but I don't know of any photographic paper printers that go wider that 40 inches. I know that Pounds and BWC in Dallas has them. Full Color and White House Custom Color probably do also. And as mentioned, Barron's in Ft. Worth if you want to go that direction. There are inkjet printer that are wider if you have to have that last half inch.

Johnny, I just put the printer link up to let you know that there are inkjets out there that go that wide for jobs.
Maybe try
