Really cheap, but fantastic quality. I had a poster printer. 50 x 75 cm (approx. 20x30") using an image of my d40 and was really impressed. Printed on proper photo paper aswell. Cant recommend highly enough.

Go to your local Costco store take the pictures on a pen stick, cheep and high quality; you have to be a member though. 8)

Photobox can handle up to 15" x 10" prints for £2.99.

For bigger than that I'd got to Peak Imaging, who can do up to 90" x 30" !

These guys had good reviews, and I've used them a couple of times. Excellent service - they hand colour correct photos IIRC, and cheap if you're having ordering a number of items (reasonably large P&P cost)(A3 = £4.20)

We've got an A0 photo printer.

Never any bloody ink in it though due to people printing Microsoft Bloody Project gant charts...

GrahamS, Photobox do up to 30x20" prints.

For some reason though, the bigger prints are listed under 'wall decor' not 'enlargement prints'.

I have had a couple of 20x16" prints done with Photobox and they were very good.

Aaaahh I thought it sounded a bit small. "Wall decor" 🙄
