    I have several images on a CD that I would like to see printed professionaly. They were taken at the highest quality settings with my 3.2mp camera (2048x1536). I am just wondering if a photo lab like Photocare or a printers like Snap or Pronta would offer the better quality. I was also wondering how big these can be printed before there is a loss of quality, A4?

    Theres a decent enough tutorial which I thought was good and is straight to the point. The link is below. I've only ever printed my own photos using an Epson 1290. I would recommend Grants on Baggot Street (if you are in Dublin) as they have digital specialists. I use Grants all the time for vector based digital prints and they are top notch.

    Hope this helps

    I had a picture blown up to A4 at 3.2 and it was fine.
    If its just for general prints to get printed the place on Georges street (opp the george) Is really cheap

    great artwork by your mate. It will all depend on the size and resolution of the artwork but looking at it there should be no problem in getting a decent size print from it. The specialist digital shops like Grants can advise.
