Personal poster?

SeanKev

Firstly, sorry if in the wrong forum.

I was wondering where I could get a poster made of this image: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/310/5/7/DeadMau5_by_fallenfaith06.jpg

Ideally, no quality loss.

Is that your own picture?

No but I have asked the artist for permission with no intention of mass producing or selling.

There are plenty of Fujifilm centres around. The Camera Centre of Grafton St/Tallaght do printing. I recently had them print a 16x20 poster I made for €17.99. No idea if that's a good price or not but it was just a once off present for my nephew.

.Longshanks.

It wont be the highest possible quality, but aldi website will provide software that gets you a 30 x 20 inch poster for approx. €15 including shipping. I had one done as a tester and ended up framing it

The reason I was asking was obviously the Copyright issue but also, that picture is to small to be blown up to a poster size, you may lose quality.

If you contact the owner she may be able to give you a bigger size.

As for where, there are a few places, Harvey Normans, Fujifilm (online too), Lidl & Aldi I think too.
If your looking for High quality stuff there is a guy on here that does it STCSTC (Steve) I'll root out his details now

Was the poster a photo from a camera ?

I don't know how to go about this seeing as it's hosted online and the images size is: 850px × 565px

Mine was a collage of photos I took of my nephew at the Star Wars Invasion but they were taken at high quality and uncompressed in a .tiff file. Basically if you try and blow up the photo that you linked then it will be pixelated. I would imagine the photographer has the high quality original, so I would ask them if you could get a copy of that as Tallon said.

Ok,
I know that, thanks.

I just noticed I can buy the print but the max is 4 x 6.

I seen that, but TBH it would be pretty expensive having to ship it from America (I'm assuming your in Ireland)
If she gave you the original you could get it done any size over here, plus you'd have her full permission

Thanks guys.

I got a 20x30 inch poster from Photobox that I'm quite happy with.

Never had anything printed so large before, so I can't compare it to anything, but it seems grand to me. Cost me about €15 posted.

baby and crumble

Just an fyi i ordered 3 18x12 poster prints from snapfish and it cost just about a tenner all in, including postage, and i have to say the quality is awesome!

i dont think the sundset one will look as good on canvas as the lighthouse one

the lighthouse could look good big

What sort of resolution image would you need to print say an A2 or A1 size print?

stcstc

ideally you want size @ 360ppi

but for example you could use down to about 200 ppi

You'll be okay.

Its all relative to the viewing distance..
Just look at a street poster.
