Honestly, I've been getting large prints from walmart.com that look pretty good. Got a couple banners made at FedEx.com that came out pretty good, too.

If you lived in Austin, I'd recommend Holland or Precision. Otherwise... google is your friend. Look up poster prints. Keep in mind the resolution of the original image will affect how large you can print the photo and still have it look good (upsampling = loss of sharpness and/or pixelation).

24x36

local guy quoted my $75 for his high quality prints, too rich for my garage, lol

Is that the original resolution or did you resize to post it here? If it's the former, I wouldn't recommend getting it printed that large.

If the original resolution is larger, then you're probably ok.. and $75 is actually fairly reasonable/average for that size of a print.

All of the large prints I have hanging up in my store were done through walmart.com. I put them in frames and they look great. Cheap, too

Would be great for a garage poster.

dats what i'm talkin about

and yes it may be shrunk for the site, but i only got what i was forwarded

i could prob. email the photog, as it's a NASA pic

and get the orig file

Archren · 10-10-2012, 06:03 PM

There you go. They don't need to be fine art/photo quality poster prints if it's for your garage... so I'd say follow Krabill's lead.

RACER X · 10-10-2012, 06:11 PM

well i emailed the photog to see if i can get the orig. file

dang it was easy to find her w/ just her name, lol
