Six 12" poster for €3.41

adinike

Hi all, just benefited from last two photobox offers and now it seems that these online printing companies are doing this offer intentionally!

Here is how it works:
Order 6 12 in posters from http://www.pixum.co.uk and use voucher code 9eb6d-98cae-265dc at check. Price drop from €25 to €3.41 including postage!

And if you use Quidco (don't know if it works in Eire but registered and used it anyway), it is supposed to reward you £6 for ordering from the site.

Saw this offer from a UK bargain website and thought people here will love the offer too.

Oh, it looks like for a new customer you also get 25 free prints from the site.

Edit:
The offer is no longer available.

Zascar

nice one cheers

Basq

Cheers.. ordered some there but highly doubt this deal is "intentional" as I can nowhere on the site that mention it as a special offer.

But worth a shot!

Just looking for a couple of posters so worth a try. Nice one if it works OP

C.O.Y.B.I.B

Worked for me , nice find although I'll believe it when i have them in my hand !!!

Zascar

Nice one, I just ordered 6x 12" posters.

I think I'll try it a few times

cormie

What's 12x12" or 12x18" in pixel ratio can anyone tell me? Or what's the best way to crop to the size you want?

Zascar

Dam you can only use that voucher code once

Gauge

Nice! I have a load of pictures I wanted to get up on my walls

bkrangle

Thanks OP, lets hope they honour these

Anyone know this?

Quidco (don't know if it works in Eire

Anybody know the answer to this question?

samhail

I hope you didnt get your measurements from http://www.pixum.co.uk/product/520-12-34-posters.html cos it says the ratios

Format: min. 12" x12" to max. 12" x18"
Aspect ratios: 3:4 = 12" x16" / 2:3 = 12" x 18"

samhail

OK thats mightnt answer your question... but to get a ratio divide one side by the other !
so 12x12 is a square (1:1)
and 12x18 is 2:3

Gauge

I think they were looking for the pixel ratio not the aspect ratio.

A 12"x18" image is 864px by 1296px at 72 pixels per inch.

cormie

Sorry, yep, I was looking for the pixel ratio, as in I wanted to open up a file in photoshop with the pixel size and fit the photo into that, but a google made me realise it is dependant on the DPI resolution or something, so Just opened an image in 12/18 inches.

£6 is pending in my Quidoc account and there is a option to transfer the money to paypal account (will try when credited).

Here is how it works:
1. register at Quidoc.com
2. search for pixum in the search function
3. click into the offer and login the pixum site through the link provided
4. your transaction will be logged and your account will be credited.

Lots of offers going on in the Quidoc and sites like play.com also included, so perhaps it is a good way to save money, if it is not a UK only thing.

cormie

Just trying to order prints now. I have 6 selected and have created an account (but not logged in) and trying to buy, have put in CC details but when I click submit it loads something but doesn't change page

cormie

just checked the photo page and 5 photos have a red arrow pointing down and one has a green arrow pointing right, maybe the red arrows are causing a problem, but I don't know what the problem is

If you click the checkout button at the bottom of the page, it will lead you to the payment page again and this time you only put in the three digits validation number.

Hi there,

thanks for this, just ordered 6 posters, total came up to 3.41 Euro...now just have to wait for it to be dispatched and we're sorted!

Cheers,
Magic

beolight

nice one

forgot the quidco thing you coulkd end up making money:)

cormie

Cool, think I just had to create a new account, musn't have done it properly when I did it at the checkout. Just found out what the red arrows were for:

IMPORTANT:
Your order contains 5 image files, with an unsufficient resolution/size.
We therefore cannot guarantee for an optimal result.

Hmmm, wonder what that's about. I edited 5 of them in photoshop to get rid of red eye and saved as JPEGs on the highest quality.

Basq

I'd ignore the unsufficient resolution stuff.. I get that almost every time i order prints and they're always fine. They're just very fussy!

cormie

Yea decided to just order them.

Thanks everyone

Redisle

Thanks op, This is a pretty sweet deal.

72 pixels is screen resolution.
For print you should be aiming for 300dpi, which would work out at:

3600 x 3600 px
or
3600 x 5400 px

kgiller

Cheers OP. Worked a charm. Looking forward to seeing how these come out.

Sound job OP!
Took me forever to decide what pics to go with.

corkie5

Great offer, thanks again. Got an order in, and then found that they have closed this offer. Nice deal tho!

I'm always too bloody slow for the photo promos :rolleyes:

cormie

Unless it was a mistake? My card was charged anyway I think so should be honoured?

johnfás

Thanks to the original poster for bringing this offer to us! I am in the middle of redecorating my bedroom and have got some great things from these photo offers - 3 large photo collages from photobox and now 12 of these mini posters!

Gauge

Aww, I missed it! Wouldn't have been able to do it til tonight when I could get at my external hard drive so annoying.

Random

Card charged & order dispatched they say. Very happy with this even if they're not top notch quality. Can't go wrong for less than 4 quid !

Basq

Mine wasn't despatched yet!

EDIT: Just got an e-mail saying they were... huzzah!

Cheers OP!

Wish I'd ordered a few batches .. said to myself I'd order one and see if it was dispatched and then get another few .. of course .. it then expired

They are 18 by 12 so I'd say it would be larger than normal a3 paper. Eason has loads nice clip-frames. Just got one for the last photobox offer, 17 euro. Frame fits the posters would be around 12 euro.

Wow 18 by 12. I didn't expect that. will take a look in Easons. Thanks.

Mine arrived in the post today. pretty happy with results. had to rush back to work so only had a quick glance. will have to get a better digi camera as it looks like this size poster is about the max size for acceptable quality.

What size pixels were your pics?

I'II have to check. I know the filesizes were roughly 1.5mb to 2.5mb.

delly

2mb sounds like enough, roughly speaking tho' you'd need around the 5-6mp to ensure a clear pic at that size.

My photos were 5meg n95 photos .. hope they come out ok !

Basq

My photos arrived today.. father rang me to tell me. Haven't seen them yet but he said the lid at the top of the tube was missing - hope there's no photos missing! :eek:
