What places do you guys and gals use to get the highest quality photo enlargements (probably up to 20x30)? If you could send me a link that would be great. Urgency in reply is appreciated (my time-budget is short).

Thanks a lot,
Lee

If you were not time stricken I would say Candid Color Systems in OK. I have never personally used them but the studio I work for does. They use a sweet pearl paper (available to buy at adorama.com awesome quality photo paper, it's all i'll use) You might also try the Kodak web site.

Well I do, but I'm afraid it's not going to do you much good...
It's in Israel, and I suspect the postage would be too high to worth the trouble...
In any case, I did some enlargments, not only up to 20x30 but even higher (36x48 inch), and the quality was absolutely outstanding.

Where are you?

DPC Prints can make prints up to 20x30. So can Ofoto (if you want Kodak paper) and most of the other online imagers. West Coast Imaging seems to have gotten high recommendations for quality, but they are expensive and not fast. Cantoo in Berkeley can print up to 50 inches wide.

I have a friend how owns a printing/developing company... I've never actually used him but I'm assuming he would go as small as 20 x 30... usually goes for billboards and other larger formats. lookds like they do up to 60 x 250 with the digital printers.commercial color

edit cause I suck at links :-)

Hmmm ... I was once at JFK airport for about four hours in 1991.
I don't suppose that qualifies me as an expert on NYC resources, does it ... : (

What:
@ are you going to use the prints for
@ is your budget
@ is your time limit
@ types of pictures are they (subject matter)
@ How much resolution do you have (image size)
