    Ive got sticky tap, or no mor nails stuff, double sided, that leaves no marks on the wall if removed, as I wanted picture to be like poster no space behind.did the work ok, only stupid thing ive done I used wet napkin to get rid of finger prints that left some blur marks as paint is still very fresh, all in total still looks great, might order another to do it on plastic covered with glass, as otherwise there can be seen some twitches on the picture when looking from different angles.have yet to see how it looks in day light.

    Very happy with mine too. Barely noticable pixelation, framed it in the stromby (i think) frame from ikea someone posted earlier in the thread. Now looks the business hanging in my hall.

    I took a look on the Ikea website for frames but couldn't find anything for a 45x30in or 40x30in print - would this stromby frame come in this size do you know. How much was it?

    It was a 40 x 30 and this was the frame I used.

    40" = 101cm
    30" = 76cm

    Frame is 100x70

    So I had to trim about 1 cm off it across the horizontal plane and about 6 cm off the vertical plane. Did this with a sharp scalpel and it dropped into the frame nicely, not noticable it was trimmed at all.

    The frame was available in black and silver (i think), was €20 and is quite heavily built.

    I'd say there's a lot of robbing photos off the net going on. At least with an image this large it should be obvious of photos are saved off a photographer's Flickr page or website.

    Finally was able to order two last night for the english site. Cost me €16 odd for the two including delivery .

    Any chance of me having them for Xmas if they are coming from England ?

    I'd be hopeful. Just to add a word of praise where it's due —

    I originally ordered one poster and it was delivered (to Ireland) in under a week by DPD. I was so pleased with it that I went back via the link and, because you only get to use this code once per account, set up a new account and ordered a second one (different image). Unfortunately I clicked too quickly through the PayPal payment page and accidentally ordered this one for delivery to my daughter's address in London, where I often send stuff that can't be delivered outside the UK. Grand, I thought, she can bring it over with her when she comes home for Christmas. Then I remembered that she was flying with Ryanair and wouldn't be allowed carry a three-foot tube onto the plane with her, so I emailed them to ask if there was any possibility of re-addressing the order. This was on a Friday evening, and by the time they replied on Monday it was to say sorry, too late, the order had already been dispatched. So I thanked them anyway and figured ah well, €10 wasted. The next day (yesterday) I got a follow-up email from their Customer Services apologising for not having been able to amend the delivery address (even though I'd kind of cheated by availing of the offer twice) and telling me that as a goodwill gesture they'd ordered a second free copy of the poster to be posted to me directly — and that it should be here before Dec. 24th... :)

    Fair play, in fairness.

    This is the kind of thing that makes me want to take up photography, having prints like this at such a reasonable cost is quite inspiring. I imagine in my mind visitors asking where I got such wonderful work and I would proudly exclaim "Oh that photo, oh I took that myself a few years back....."

    Happy out with the 3 I got , the third is a present for my brother.

    Was wondering, did anyone here get the frame from IKEA? Is it any good? I got quoted over €150 from a local frame maker. I recall the one in IKEA was just €20.

    I've got that frame before for another picture and it was perfect and got it at €20.

    I keep getting a low quality image message. Even though I got it from the 20mp or larger option from Google images.

    I got that message from an even lower 8mp camera phone picture on the 45x30 size. The resulting print is perfect, so surprised at how it turned out, so wouldn't worry about the warning message too much.

    This has to be in my top 5 bargain alerts.

    Got mt two posters today. WOW i'm in love. Amazing quality.

    Thanks OP


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 mrstee


    Huge thanks OP. Had a very happy hubby this morning

    He took a pic of a leopard which was about 8ft away from of us when we were on safari last year and it looks amazing as a poster. Will be proudly displayed in the sitting room once we get a frame sorted!
