Hope someone may have previously had this problem - have recently done my family genealogy tree having gone back 14 generations.
>
Would like to print out the tree and maybe fix it to a wall in the mancavesmile
>
The jpg of the full size file is around 28800x15000 pixels at 200DPI which I think would be the minimum needed to retain sufficient detail to read when printed, though in a perfect world would prefer 300dpi if possiblesmile

Any ideas where I maybe able to get it printed, and at what £cost£ approx?

Big file. 3.65m x 1.9m

How big do you want it printed?

Do you want it printed in one piece?

Yeah depending on the materials that could get expensive quick.

Alternate logic to printing, buy a big feck off tv for the wall, display it on that when guests come, watch movies / footy / display other art on it the rest of the time. Has the benefit of allowing you to update the tree if things happen in the future without needing to print it again.

I think there are firms out there who will print out your image in the form of a mural/wallpaper that you then just paste up.

Looked into it myself as I wanted a famous photo of a musician on my music room wall. They said no because of copyright from memory. But you should be fine.

Needs to be printed full size - there's so much info'/detail that it has to be that size to be readable.
Prefer to have it in 1 sheet [easier to hang/paste on wall] - there won't be any updates - the tree is correct and has all the detail already in it.

FYI it's taken 14 years research to get to this stagesmile It also has a very famous musician [who wants a copy - I maybe give it to him for Xmas] and Royalty in itsmile

It also need's to be full colour.

Tried the TV - I have an 80" TV - detail is poorfrown

50p says you'll get it printed out, stick it on the wall - then next day discover another ancestor hehe

Try bigartandbanners.com, have had a couple of large prints done by them before.

Suspect this will end up a vinyl print rather than paper then at that size / 1 piece requirement.

I used http://www.genealogyprinters.com/ to print my Dad’s tree. He had over 4000 people in it but by restricting it to just the 1200 direct ancestors and descendants across 14 generations it came out as 37 feet long and 3 feet high. Cost was £90 plus postage. Looked really good, we had it displayed at his wake.
