for the rest the mounting to MDF is what I normally do. Just get a can of 3M spray adhesive for mounting and it done in a few seconds. Ez Pz

How do you ensure that you get no bubbles underneath? Always have this problem on phone/tablet protectors but I imagine 45" will be somewhat harder to work with, not to mention with glue.

Also I did a little reading & there was mention of "acid" coming through the MDF onto the photo over time. Apparently an alternative type of board is suggested.

I'll see what I come up with when I finally get the print

deegs

the photo paper is a lot thicker and therefore a lot more forgiving on bubbles.
Also glue is involved so its relatively hard to get bubbles. I've never had issues in several years!

mrcheez

Hmm 3 separate forums maintain a strong case against putting pic on plain MDF due to acid seeping through over time (1, 2, 3). Seem to suggest Foamcore as alternative.

deegs

Sorry your right!
I use mounting card for photo's with 3m adhesive and mdf for canvas with a staple gun...

Mounting card probably would not work for something this size...
I wonder if you sealed the mdf first before using the adhesive would that work?

scamalert

pulled the trigger as wanted my picture done for a long while,but encounteretd same trouble as others quality isnt high enough,so question is will it look decent,i choose the biggest size,heres the pic

scamalert

sorry for massive pic,just need opinions as deal sounds great.Photo specs are 1977 x 1080 72dpi-what bothers me dpi is of very low quality

mrcheez

yeah it's a little small

Did anyone else get the wrong poster? I'm not complaining to be honest, the one I got instead rules, the quality is way better than I expected and reordered my original thing in higher quality regardless. But yeah, just letting people know.

Oh god, I hope mine doesn't go to the wrong person. :eek:

Nobody needs to see that.

mrcheez

Thinking he means wrong size... I mean that would be pretty bad if they delivered the wrong bleeding pic

takamichinoku

Nope man, wrong pic, right specifications. The invoice includes an image of what it's meant to be too.

Edit: the image looks like it was a low res photo for the size but its got a sort of blurry grainy look to it that isn't bad at all.


Assuming my other order arrives okay, I kinda wish I got a photo of myself printed out...

Oh that's great...that's just great...

Got mine today and it was as I ordered....lovely stuff...thanks OP.

+1. Colours are a bit darker/less saturated than on screen, but I'd allowed for that. Image looks good and sharp, even though the website also told me it was only "medium" quality.

I think it has expired, as I tried the other day and got a message about the coupon expiring the previous day.

Hey, I ordered the big 45x30 print - does anyone know where I'd pick up a reasonably priced frame for this size? Im not talking a real fancy one, just plain and simple

I made another order only yesterday on the .co.UK site with bigposter. It shows the date it was supposed to expire but still works fine. I've 6 ordered under 2 email address's, no problems. Should have the first 3 tomorrow I'd say.

Got my one direction poster today.....pure enough quality but has to do with image i uploaded i guess. well it should work a treat as part of the 2 tickets santa has brought my daughter for xmas. Even the noticable pixels on Niall Horans face shouldnt ruin that!

I was trying to get the highest quality image I could find online and I used the space pictures from the link given here but they were all low quality when I uploaded them to the site. Can anybody link me to a very high res space picture?
