I know this has been mentioned before, but I can't remember the name of the company(ies) you guys use.

Looking to get 4 designs I have done for my sons bedroom printed at 40cm x 40cm. They are simple vector images, so no glossy photographs required. I have the frames, just the prints I need.

Any recommendations (preferably rea$onable) would be excellent.

www.photobox.co.uk do 12" x 12" if that's any good?

I've sold about 90 of said squares this year.

It has to be 40 x 40cm Steve. Already have some of my photos in the frames, with mounts, but want to remove the mounts. I suppose I just need access to a large format printer, just don't know anyone with one.

Used these guys just last week for a 50 x 50. No complaints from me.

They list 40 x 40

DSCL quote various sizes in inches but say they will print any size. I can vouch for the quality of their A3 prints

Thanks for the links folks. Simpo, that's a plan too. I'll take a look around and see what the options are wink

Loxley Colour list a 16x16 inch print. Quality is superb from them, vastly superior to photobox et al IMO.

Printyours might be worth a look too, they have some lovely paper stock.

Thanks Bramley.

Not sure about what type of stock yet. The images are pretty simple colours and will be behind perspex in their frames. What do you recommend for these images?









They'll make a kind of panoramic once in their frames.

I'd say something plain, either light wood or white, flattish/widish.


(Personally I like mounts too)

They look great my fertile friend wink

Must say, I will probably use Posterprint again. I was really pleased with their service too and quality seems excellent.
