Does anyone know of a good mail order place in the U.S. to have poster sized prints done, maybe 24x36 or even 36x54. The print shop I currently use wants $50 for a 24x36, which seems a bit steep.

Sorry can't really help but could not help notice that something is cheaper in Denmark ;-)

A post in size 33 x 24 cost approx $33

And a really big poster 80x24 cost approx $83

Do a search on the word "Frontline".... there's many labs that use that system and the prints should be reasonable good. Our local lab (well in Stockholm, but at least local in Sweden) charges about $25 USD for a 70 x 100 cm (that's about 27.5 x 39.3 inches).

I'm told these guys are pretty good - good paper, good printing, only $10 for a 20*30, and $30 for a 30*40! I'm going to try them out myself soon.

Just wondering, what kind of paper these posters are usually printed on. Are they the same as regular photos or are they the like posters we normally buy at shops. Or maybe another kind.

Does anybody know. Thanks.

Yes, I can. What's your question? If it's about the paper/printing, the answer is that they use really good paper on what I presume is a good printer.
