Large-format print needed - local or online
Hey guys,

I have a particular print that I would like to have printed (and later framed)... the image is 5616 x 3744 shot with a Canon 5D Mark II. I can source a JPEG or a RAW... but am looking for suggestions for local printing... because this image will be framed and hung, I am willing to pay more for a quality print, which is why I am seeking advice here. Online or local doesn't really matter.

-suggestions as to where to get the print done?
-suggested sizes?
-gloss or matte?

Any input would be amazing guys.

Sincerely,

Mark

Assuming your focus & exposure is bang on, you should have no trouble making a 5~7 foot (on the long edge) print.

The best place to get it done in Vancouver would be The Lab or ABC Photo. Price will be dependent on media and mounting method.

Gloss or matte will be a personal choice. I personally hate glossy prints, I usually like semi-gloss or matte. Glossy prints will have deeper blacks though, but will show fingerprints very well. Use cotton gloves when handling!
