Print sizes

mikeanywhere

Just a general question here but what would you suggest would be regarded as good print sizes that people would have to hang on the wall??

A3 for me. I like to use mountboard with a bevel cut, then framed. I've tried A4 but it doesn't have the same impact. I usually go bigger than A3 for canvas prints.

Depends on the print - I've some in for A1 at the moment, but have printed and mounted A4 and A5 before...they all look well as long as the size suits the print!

Different sizes suit different images, IMHO. It's also a matter of taste.

I use both A4 and A3. Properly mounted and framed they look very well. I get them printed at www.photobox.co.uk

biggest print i have on the wall at the moment is a 50cmx50cm - not one of mine. wouldn't want to go much bigger than that.

One of the 50x50 prints?

actually, three of them, the habitat ones.

I've two 20x30 inch shots - they look great but framing them has been difficult.

I just received 15 10x8 prints from photobox.ie and am delighted with them! Largest I got was like a 10x12. Very nice quality, and like 2.50 a 10x8, chuffed with their service!

Using Mcgowans - Gonna see how they work out. Heard some mixed reports.

DadaKopf

Had some mixed results!

Seems to be a common statement!

Bascially, what I've been told is that you don't always get what you asked for, and to make sure they know...several times.

I'll kick up a heap of shit if they get it wrong.

Wez is that 2.50 each? Seems a little expensive to me!
