Advice Re Quality Print (?)

[Peter McCullough]

Ok, I'm looking advice please as I fancy enlarging one of my floral images, but not sure who to use Pro-Lab wise regards a quality print.....(?)

Something like a 20"x16" or maybe slightly bigger. Maybe not on canvas but something like the print mounted onto a 5mm board or something like that, any advice most welcome.


It's for this image;

Peter - I know very little about printing, other than what I learned from doing an exhibition a few years ago. For my colour images I had Cibachrome prints and the saturation was superb! They also last indefinitely. Of course, you can't get those now, but Digitalab do a similar process I believe. I did a test print a few years ago and there was no problem with colour profiles. They just told me to get the image as I wanted on my calibrated monitor and all would be well. And it was. The process is called Fujiflex

i've used www.theprintspace.co.uk before and they were spot on .. lots of choices of papers and mounts

I suspect that because you have a mix of saturated colours and pastel tones some printers may struggle unless they have a large colour inkset. In the past I have asked the printers to print a small section of the image full size on a test strip (they print about 1" of the image). If they do this for a couple of papers you can approve the proof before going ahead.
