Had everything up to and including the 30"x20"

A3 seems to be the most common size that I sell - quite a few 20"x8" as well.

The A2 version of this is truly superb.

Will get it framed eventually.

[edit]
Two I had framed for my Dad's birthday last year.
http://www.flibster.com/Images/XH558...6/DSCF2987.jpg - 20"x8" print framed to edge of print
http://www.flibster.com/Images/XH558...6/DSCF2991.jpg - A3 print *image isn't the full A3* framed to the edge of the print. I wanted to keep this one.

Two that were framed for me.
http://www.flibster.com/Images/XH558...6/DSCF2995.jpg - A3 print framed to edge of print - dodgy photo.
http://www.flibster.com/Images/XH558...6/DSCF2996.jpg -12"x12" print - trimmed by about 2mm each side to get it to fit a bought frame. This one lives at work - I love it.

Next time I'm that way I'll bring a couple of the larger ones with me to you can take a look. Although by that time you'll have probably bought some yourself.

Could be several weeks as next week I'm off to Normandy for a tour of the D-Day beaches.

Not exactly cheap - but bloody good.

Got my photos back the next day. I have to say that the images look a little on the grey/dull side. i.e. not as colourfull as that of the image you see on screen. This has been the same with Boots and Tescos so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Annoying when I'm looking a images I took ten years ago on a cheap 35mm are better quality than that of todays so called advancing techonology..

That seems a little strange. I use them all the time for everything from my own prints on the wall to commercial work. Printing is always different to a screen, its the nature of things. It might be that your screen isn't properly calibrated?

Does that make a difference because they are being sent straight from download. Only a few were edited?

Did you get a calibration print from them?
If not sends them an email - generally it arrives very quickly.

Then you can match your screen to the print and then what you see on screen will be very close to the print.

Never had any problems myself though.

Sorry for sounding stupid - but if i'm downloading the pics from camera to HDD then uploading, then how does the monitor intervene?
