I work for a fire department and we are looking to have a poster made promoting our department. Doese anyone know where to get this type of poster printed. I am talking about the paper kind we got as kids.
Thanks

There have been threads asking this and people have recommended places, a search might show something up.

Check the NFPA's website, they have a lot of fire prevention stuff for kids. www.nfpa.org

Check local print shops. Depending on the size you want, and I'm guessing 2x3 or so, just about any of them can do it. If they can't, any good shop will tell you who can. And going local, you might get a good deal, particularly if you let them put their name on the poster too...
Have it professional designed too. Don't let someone design it in Word, or else it will look like someone designed it in Word. (And printers HATE Microsoft anyway...)

Seems to be a pattern. Or is it fire department photo season?

Thanks for all your input. I kept googling poster prints and poster printers and kept coming up with places that print photo type posters for $40 and up. I found out that what I want is called offset printing. This is less than $1 for 1000 and is like the posters you bought as kids and taped to your wall. These are being used as give aways during fire prevention month.
Thanks All

I just had some poster size prints made at Office Max which I was quite pleased with. They were 24x36 and it had more of that 'poster paper' feel to it than photo paper. Reasonablly priced too.

oops - just read your last post and saw what you were looking for cost wise, so scratch my suggestion.

Go to Wal-Mart they will print up to 20X30 size Posters. I presume you have the phot. Just bring then a CD with your photo on it.

What do you consider reasonably priced. I'm looking for a backup printer if the price is right
