I resarched the threads earlier and couldnt find anything , hence this post. I specifically want a large print- specifically 24 X 36 and also want to print it on a kodak metallic paper. My local staples store does the 24X36 but doesnt carry the paper and many online sites i checked out do only upto 20X30. So any suggestions of where i can get good prints from would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance :)

Did you check White House Custom Color? Or West Coast Imaging? I think they'll do it. Dang, I know one of those big print houses will do it, but I can't remember which one now...

Did you try a small print on the Endura Metallic, like from MPIX? It doesn't suit all pics, so a small sample is a good idea.


You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

PerfectPosters.com ...not certain about your paper type, but we're really happy with the large prints that we've had done by them. Fast with very good customer service.

Here's another place: http://www.vipphotolab​.com/digital.htm (external link)
Max 30x120 on metallic.

I talked to these guys on the phone one day and they sound like they really know what they're doing, and they're pretty damned cheap from what I could find. I ended up chatting with the guy for 20 minutes, talking about shooting in the White Mountains, which he loved. I've never used them, but after that conversation I would have no problems sending them an order.

Wow, thanks a lot for the replies Scottes,Dennis and Stan, really appreciate the help :) I'll check out all the 3 sites you guys mentioned and decide on one.

Scottes- to answer your question- yes i do have a couple of 20X30 metallic prints from mpix.com and i really like how they came out. I think for landscape pictures the metallic print works really well, makes the pictures shine. Thanks again !

I've used Elco and they're absolutely recommended. I didn't know they did metallic.
