Good god 18x24 for $50? was it already framed? or laminated or something? A 18x24 should be around 15-30.

Yea I payed $10 for my 12x18 picture and will probably run to ikea or michaels for a frame. Or just hang it the way it is. We will see. Expecting them today.

Yea how's the quality. I know my work has a HP designjet 130nr which is 24x (as much as 50 feet on a roll) but we dont have any photo paper stock, mainly just like matte poster paper. and the quality really isnt photo lab quality.

would love to see the quality your printer does.

Welp. They came in and i am surprised. This is the first time i have ordered online and to my surprise they sent me all my pictures, AND they sent me copies of everything showing me their optional "color correction." lol i even got an additional 12x18 of brett's gtr. the quality is actually amazing. its a shiny finish (i much prefer matte finish) and is good enough to make me order the poster in a larger size it fits nice on my wall but i want it to be BIG!

here's a pic of the original(top), and corrected (bottom) oh and a picture of a turkey i took and had printed again. Really the only thing their "correction" does is brighten the picture of the gtr and i threw some vignetting on there on purpose.



If anybody wants a copy just let me know and ill use their "drop shipment" to you for what i pay, nothing more. (click here for pricing)

i actually own a designjet 130nr as well and have 100ft rolls, the quality is top notch, the printer does 1.7 ppm, 2400 x 1200 DPI, maybe you guys tried blowing up a poor quality photo? I've printed 24x36 with a 9 megapixel camera and it looked great


yes leecee thats what i used for that print.

Ryan, that looks pretty sweet man. I might have MDracer contact you about it. It would be cool to have something like that hanging in the GT-R's Garage.
