Help w/ Getting a Poster made

[CR Swade]

Hey all, I've got a poster made up of some racing pics and sponsors and am looking for ideas on who does the most economical printing of like a 18"x24" poster. Thanks

Bigger than 18x24 starting at 20X30 but as long as the file is of good quality these guys do great work for a price you'll never beat.

Altho not the quality of the work Chili produces with his printer I have had luck at reasonable prices using Walmart. Go to walmart.com and then photo serices. You can email the file and they mail out the posters in about a week or so. Quality is good for the price on heavy poster stock paper.
Just keep in mind for a top quality project Chili has the better referance- I have both hanging in my recroom and there is a differance :nod:

Dave, that link I provided is where I got Eric's posters done. I was very happy with how those turned out. I use a local printer for my posters but wanted to try EL-Co after seeing many good reviews on the Photo forums. In the end even at that unbelieveable price and being pleased with the quality I'll continue to use a local lab because the international shipping costs on that special killed the deal by a large margin.

I've also seen some good results from cheaper sources like Wal-mart and Costco but it's usually hit and miss. Basically if you talk to the lab and ask them if you should uprez the file or does their printer have a built in "RIP" that will produce a better final product and they give you a blank look, then it's time to find another lab.

Doug I should have clicked your link before posting those prices are lower then Walmart and as I said there is a big quality differance. I will keep this in mind next time I have some done.
