How to get high quality proof photos in pdf printed
Discussion
I had a magazine article with photos published recently and wanted to get it printed out so that I can have it framed for my study.
The magazine production company very kindly sent me the high quality proofs in pdf format - they can’t print them out themselves as they only deal with large print runs.
Anyone know where I can get these printed out onto decent quality paper - someone like Prontaprint springs to mind if they still exist!

Cheers - not sure how I get them printed though?Maybe by opening the PDFs in Photoshop 300dpi then saving as JPEG at level 10, then sending to loxleycolour.com for printing
Are you wanting to extract the photos and print only those? Or do you want to print the magazine spread as laid out?
If the latter then any local printing company or display printing outfit should be able to run you off a good quality digital print - though Loxey Colour is a good call too.
If you're looking to extract the images, the same applies but it's likely that the size the images appear on the spread is the maximum you'll get without starting to see degradation in quality.
If it's a print magazine, can you not get hold of a copy and frame the the spread your contribution is on? I would have thought this would appear a lot more 'cool'!
