Gracia! 🙂

Dependind on what size you're wanting i've just had an 18"x12" done at costco for £1.99 yes £1.99. Quality is spot on and better than a lot of other we based companies i've used in the past. Also did it via the internet and it was ready to collect within 30mins.
Sadly they can't do a height bigger than 12" due to their printing setup limitations.

For £1.99 though you can't go wrong. Hope it helps

If you want to hang it anywhere that will get any natural light coming in, then bear in mind some cheaper prints may fade quite quickly. What you need is something like pigment or dye-sublimation prints for longevity. This technology may only be available at 'proper' photo printing places, and may cost a fair bit.

+1 for Costco, i use them for printing most of my photos for my customers.

Only problem is finding frames for 18x12", i have had to get 20x16 frames and use a mount.

try 'one vision imaging' used to be called colab in the olden 35mm days. top class pics and service, not cheapest - but then when did colnago make a bike for £70 !
Just had some 20"x16" prints done and they're faultless and only 3 days from order to delivery.
