I'm after a print (almost certainly of one of Steve's Torridon shots) but I want something really large - probably 2m on the long side (landscape orientation). Any recommendations? I know Tim can do some pretty big canvases but I'm not certain canvas will do the photos justice.

TIA

I posted a thread on here recently trying to find out more about WhiteWall.com

Still haven't used them but their website walks the walk. Maximum size for a conventional photo finish is 48" x 70", they can print banners much larger. Also offer prints mounted on acrylic, aluminium etc

Obv you also need to check with whoever produced the image to optimise it for such large printing - canvas may turn out to be a good option as the texture can work to conceal the start of pixelisation.

We have printed single images 2.8m x 12m - is that big enough? wink

Obviously the size will to a degree determine the substrate used.

PM me if you would like to discuss.
