I need a good reliable, online printers to produce a high quality A2 poster/ print on a decent thickness paper. Anybody have any recommendations? Thank you

Are we talking advertising here, so large print runs? I've used One Click Print and Monster Flyers before.

If you're talking prints just for a wall or something then photobox are good, but there are lots that will do the same job.

Just a quick question regarding the above, does anybody know what paper thickness is for a A2 print: 150-300 gsm? I have checked their site but it does not say. Thank you.

I'm not sure with regards to the A2 print but I have had a few (up to A3) from photobox and they have all been very high quality, well packaged and quite cheap.

Photobox do everything (up to 30"x20") on proper light sensitive Fuji photo paper, it isn't printed it's developed.

I wasn't going to upload a photo but a printed image-one I designed as a tiff. Does this make a difference?

Hmm, just looked and you're quite right (Fuji Crystal Archive to be exact), either way the results are very good

Another vote for photobox, have had well over 2000 photos from 6x4 to A2 and quality has always been superb.

I use exclusively peak-imaging in Sheffield. They are probably the best pro-lap out there these days with Metro. They have excellent turnaround too.

Sorry to steal he thread a minute, but are there any other decent printers beside Photobox? The reason I ask is because Photobox have removed their FTP service and I find their own uploader seriously annoying and rubbish. Id also like to find somewhere that offers a range of papers (Ie Hahnemühle and Ilford fine art papers). Any suggestions?
