\"PY-1\"<\/a>Like many people I have an A4 printer on my desk. Mine\u2019s a Canon Pixma and is ideal of the odd proof print or two. <\/p>\n

A4 is a nice size to print and back in the day of 15\u201d CRT monitors an A4 print looked large. Today however, we\u2019re all used to seeing large images on our large screens, so I want to make my prints bigger then my screen. <\/p>\n

A while ago I went looking for a company that could provide me with large prints at moderate prices. <\/p>\n

Cheap vs Expensive
<\/strong>First up I tried the same printers I use for my small prints. I started off by sending some files to well known (and cheap) UK internet lab. The photos that came back weren’t amazing but were OK for my needs. So I placed a larger order but the prints I got back the second time didn\u2019t match the colour and contrast of the first set\u2026 end result, fail!<\/p>\n

Next I tried a pro lab. Their price of a 24\u201d print was many times higher then the cheapo internet lab but the results were excellent. The only problem was I couldn\u2019t get my head past the huge price.<\/p>\n

Independent Lab
<\/strong>\"PY-2\"<\/a>Back in January I met a chap call Kevin. We got chatting about photography and it transpired he owned a company called Print Yours who specialise in large fine art prints. I\u2019ve since placed several orders with them and the quality has been outstanding and best of all it\u2019s been consistent. The price isn\u2019t bad either.<\/p>\n

My favourite paper is the cotton rag. It\u2019s a matte paper that has amazing detail and even a slight texture (click the image to see more detail)<\/p>\n

Print Yours Offer<\/strong>
OK rather the taking my word for it why not give Print Yours a go for yourself. Kevin has organised a special 50% discount offer<\/a> for the Gavtrain readers. Make it a weekend project to sort out one or two of your favourite photos and print them BIG!\"PY-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
