    Came today, looks very nice with good image quality.

    I used a picture that was at 2K size which gave me notices about it being low quality so put it through Photoshop and just scaled it up to 5k size.

    Arrived today and paper quality just like standard photographic paper (nice and thick).

    Am I missing something here when people say things like this? Surely photoshop just softens out the pixels a bit more than giving them the smaller image would.

    Whoever bought one of these should upload some photos of it so we can see the quality and size comparison.

    Of course it made no difference in increasing image quality but for me it was throwing up errors and stopping me from ordering so I just scaled it up to simply bypass it.

    EDIT: Looking at my post I phrased it wrong, I didn't mean resolution but size of the image.

    My phone shot came out blurred so rest assured the pic itself is in focus, but gives you an idea.

    The one I got is already wrapped and all for a gift, but I thought the quality was really good overall. No way you'd find a print anywhere near that price elsewhere that was as good imo.

    On the basis of some things in the photo it looked like a low-res photo so I'm super optimistic regarding quality of the 20MP one I ordered.




    By the way, reckon I'd be able to get a refund or a second order of the original image I ordered without having to send back the one they sent by mistake?

    Where did you get a 20MP pic?

    I used this image and when it arrived (and subsequently lost! :mad:) i found it a little pixelly in the 45x30 size - I dont think anyone would be going up to it that close anyway

    That's about 3MP, I think? A little pixelly isn't that bad for that size.

    I just ordered my second...whether they'll honour it is anyone's guess. Here's what I do:

    Install Google Chrome. Open an incognito tab. Click the link on the first post here. Create a new photobox account (with a disposable email address like mailinator.com and don't use your usual password). Go to the checkout once you've uploaded your image. Enter your address. Finally enter the "bigposter" code and you'll get a pop up about some other offer they're running (anything but that Ref: 8142 error code is a God send). Pay using PayPal!

    says uk on their website or at least their address is there on site.
    anyone who got it did you have to go to post office to collect it or do they deliver to house ? as site mentions because of size,its possible that you might need to collect it,dunno how post works here with big sized stuff,as i don't think its priority mail.

    so my two prints and postage to Ireland was around £13 and some change !!

    have to say wow,just got mine delivered and it looks amazing worth every cent.As i showed my pic couple pages back i was concerned about low dpi and resolution,so as expected there are some pixels visible from about 20 inches away,but step aside a meter and its perfect,especially black color is unique,and even tiniest dots came out clear.Will defo order again even if its full price.now only dilemma is to find a way to put it somehow onto the wall.once done will upload pic.

    I am really impressed too...if you go up close (like a few inches) you can see obvious pixelation but as you say, stand back a metre or two and it's perfect.

    I got mine for my wife...a picture of the place we got engaged so I'm looking for the most cost effective way to get it up on the wall...let me know if you come across any suitable.

    Would buying a canvas and sticking it to that work I wonder?
