POSTER PRINTING

[BaumannPhotography]

I am doing a sports team poster in April and I need to get a large run of posters printed at 20x30. My current lab is WHCC and they only offer 11x17 ish. They had a photographer do their poster last year and they were press printed posters at 20x30, so they would like the same size. Any thoughts? Thanks

Elcocolor is the lab I used. Look at the "internet only specials" for posters.

That is a bit more than i might want to take on in my lab but you might go to Tabco.com they are here in Terre Haute and they are friends of mine. They do alot of the school Senior sports calendars I Design.

I was in Terre Haute last year competing in the 2007 NCAA National Indoor Track & Field meet. You weren't there by anychance?

Thanks for the info though I will check them out.

I know I'm a little late getting on this post but I'm looking to print poster in about the same amount as Baumann. Do either ELCO or Winkflash give price breaks? It just seems $9.95 for a 20x30 or $19.95 for a 24 x 36 respectively is a little much per poster. I'm trying to do this as a fund raiser keeping the cost low but making enough profit for the customer. Was I expecting to much by thinking $2 per poster and selling them for $5.

$9.95 is incredibly cheap for a high quality 20x30" photographic print. It costs me around double that from my pro lab, maybe a bit more. You might want to try somewhere that doesn't use photographic paper, but still not sure you'll get it much cheaper.
