Question for you all

I have had some A2 prints made now some A1 am blown away with the quality. I resized everything in Photoshop at 300 dpi. I put my face right up against them and can't see any pixilation. Work done at Colab UK.

So the question is what are they are printed on? HP/Epson inkjet or something more high end from Agfa/Kodak? Am curious.

Cheers

Next purchase Canon 50D and Canon 100-400mm

Epson and HP have some pretty high end large scale photo printing stuff as well so it really could be any of those you listed.

I guess I am curious if I can get the same quality at home. Very tempted when you look at the price of an Epson 3800/4800 or even a 9800!

Then again at £17 for an A2 print online I would be hard pressed to do it cheaper at home.

Thanks

I got a 20"x30" poster from photobox, and likewise was blown away by the quality - printed on Fuji photographic paper. I placed the order at 14:00, at 14:30 I got an email saying it was ready to ship, and I had it the next morning.
