    I just sign up with a different email address every time. You can use your usual details for everything else.

    Best thing to do with a situation that requires a new email address every time is to use gmail. That way you can enter . in your email address anywhere and you will get mail.

    Eg: email@email.com can be changed to e.mail@email.com or em.ail@email.com etc etc etc.... you can also append @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com and this also works.

    Save you and others going through the hassle of setting up a new email address each time.

    Getting the same. I would have thought 150dpi images would be good quality, but getting "average"

    i eventually found one that it gave me good quality for, an 8 meg image 8984x6732 resolution

    Looking for a particular movie poster and can't find any bigger damn it.

    It's saying "This photo quality is medium. However the printing should be correct" - think I'll give it a go anyway!

    yeah earlier in the thread people were saying medium seemed to produce fine posters. and it's not like they're breaking the bank either way, i'll probably end up doing the same

    If the print is going to be put in a glass frame is matt or gloss better?
    If not in a glass frame which would be better?

    Thanks in advance,
    Pa.

    Matt if you're going to put in a frame. Gloss finish will stick to the glass and get scruffy looking pretty quickly. Looks better on a wall too as it won't reflect if you're not looking at the picture straight on.

    Sorry, yeah, I did that first but nothing good comes up at the required resolution.
    Thought someone may have known a website that isn't visible to google images

    IKEA are good for ok frames, cheapish and cheerful in white or black.

    Make sure to take the inner layer of cardboard mount into account when buying.

    The outer frame will be a few centimeters bigger all around.

    We ordered 4 prints for Christmas when they also had an offer. Quality is excellent. Used biggest Ikea frames we could buy and had to trim the photos a little

    what would work to hang these on a wall without using a frame?

    would blutac work like a regular old poster or are they too big

    Yeah, but it wouldn't look great. These are printed on proper photo paper, not the thin paper you'd normally have with a poster.

    Yeah, I did this using about 10 lumps of it. It has hung in the playroom ever since and looks fine, hasn't budged at all.

    Yeah, code is fine. Keep getting "you are not eligible for this offer". Was told by customer service that it is only for UK. Even though on the offer page it shows € and all you guys are using it fine
