Let me know how much it costs. Last time I did it I did it myself as I worked at Kodak and had access to a poster printer as part of my job (damn I could make a killing on posters if I still worked there). I want to get one of my car in it's current state.

what size are you looking for? also where may i ask are you going to use? I would look at Mpix.com (they cost a little bit more but they are good to deal with) and also make sure your DPI is atleast 300 (right click on photo go to your properties then summary to check ur DPI. Most places wont print unless it is 300DPI. for $20 i bet its a 16x20 or a 20x30 matte paper. we do 20x30 for $25.99 and then $2.50 a square foot for the black foam core mount. fyi

I know it's on the cheap end but they had good reviews...so we'll see in a few days. If nothing else I can put it up in the garage or something.
If it's good then it's getting laminated and framed.
BTW fishers, I checked on the pic. It's 72 DPI vertical, 72 DPI Horizontal...bit depth is 24.
Not the best picture quality-wise but it's not like I have a second chance. I wish I could retake it with my current camera turned all the way up, it'd be too large for most ppl to upload probably. 8mp ftw

check at your college. I can make huge prints on high gloss (very nice) paper for like $1/foot ....they arent making any profits off of it..it's mainly for projects and stuff but they dont care what you use it for.

Hey Brad,
If you were still in Starkville, I would tell you to "MOOOOve on over to the Copy Cow!!!" haha - they have pretty good prices on that type of stuff from the little bit I have used them...

I got it in, the problem is the picture isn't as clear in the original as it needs to be...O what I'd do for my new camera about 6 months ago lol.
It isn't bad though, just a little unclear being so big, still getting laminated and framed though.
