#COSTCO POSTER PRINT SIZES SOFTWARE#

Only 12x18, but they look perfect to my untrained eye. I have had some great shots done from those machines at Wal-Mart from my D40. Costco has the best return/customer service policy on the planet! They have taken a broken DS Lite that my kid droped (obvious it was broken from the fall) back! Amazing!Įdit: Oh yea, I'm taking a D40 shot to costco this weekend for a large print.at least a 12x18 or something larger. You can ask the costco person what machine they are using.and compare that to the Ritzs, labs.etc.Īlso, I suspect (not 100% sure) that if you did one print and did not like the result, you can get your money back. I've hear a good number of people that has used costco for large prints and they are very happy with them.but in the end, one person's 'eye' on the pic may be different that another. I would not discount them-no pun intended. Printed in an hour and cheaper than Costco.Ĭostco has equipment that is modern, commercial, and efficient. I've made posters at Sam's Club and was VERY impressed at the quality. I like, never tried a poster size, though. I had printed 16x20 from my D50 (6mp) and If not- just do it yourself.įrom experience I know, that you should be fine with 20x30 from D80. If you would like to leave to the lab- got to photo lab, real lab. I personally wouldn't rely on Staples or Costco to resample. May cost slightly more than Costco or Staples, but well worth it. I would recommend, however, that you have a dedicated photo lab, such as Ritz Camera, do the work for you. I have had 20x30 prints done, with pictures that were not cropped or retouched, out of my D40, yes, with 6 megapixels. Its not horribly expensive and I doubt if it didn't upscale nicely, it would turn out bad. If someone doesn't come back with a good response, you could bite the bullet and try it out. If you can upscale your 20x30 yourself, and happy with the results, I recommend that. I know it doesn't help the 20x30 problem, but there up-scaling looked fine to me. I haven't printed 20x30, but I can say everything I have printed looks great. Originally posted at 1:35PM, 8 October 2008 PST Has anyone done this using services like Staples or Costco with your D80 photos? If so I'd be curious to hear about your results and your approach to the problem. I have programs to do the job (Qimage or PhotoZoom Pro) but i'm not sure which option would give the best print quality at the end of it all.

My question is: Should I upsize and resample the image to that size before sending it to them or do they have software that takes care of this at their end? The native 10mp image is obviously not going to give me killer dpi at that size. I'm looking to get a poster done (20x30) possibly of one of my D80 photos.
