Parents are asking for 16 x 20 poster prints for senior football players this year. I usually provide the files and let them print what they want.

My questions are about resolution and what company I should use to get the prints for them.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

By "poster" do you just mean a 16x20 print or are you after something special?

Any printer should be able to produce 16x20s. I use Costco and Millers for my prints. You can also check our WHCC and MPix.

Yeah, exactly. Just 16 x 20" prints. The school already has school color frames to mount prints.

We don't have Costco in my neck of the woods. Don't mind sending the files to MPix or Millers for printing. Good resource?

Millers and MPix are owned by the same company. Millers is the pro version, MPix is the public version. I think Millers does an excellent job and I use them for my sports stuff. I've also used MPix for a couple of things and liked what I saw there as well. Some folks prefer WHCC, but I haven't used them since I have been happy with Millers.

Thanks for your kind assistance. MPix looks pretty 'consumer-friendly' and the prices look right for high-school parents to have the poster-sized prints done.

Already signed up and will upload the photos that each parents picks from the football website.

Good call and thanks again for the MPix recommendations. Looks like a no-brainer for this job.
