Title: Anyone in the Printing business?
Post by vig on Jul 13^th, 2004, 1:58pm

I've been trying to find a volume printer for these....

I've been to two printer shops already and they just stare at me like a dog with it's head tilted.
Any help would be appreciated...

Try a pro. photography studio...

... most times, they'll have a plotter with capabilities for printing photos up to 42"x100' rolls...

I'd like to help personally, but I can only do $5's, $10's and $20's....

Looks nice...have you tried the new 'Fed-Ex/Kinkos' yet? I had some large banners done at Kinkos (before Fed-Ex bought them)...they turned out really nice, they were done well and I had them back within 24 hours.

well, ya might wanna open it up in photoshop and edit out yer feet methinks....then convert it to CMYK color for 4 color printing and then its just a matter of letting your fingers do the walkin.....you have the world at your fingertips...search online for a printer. ;)

There are companies that take your photo and make a calendar out of or do what you whant to with it.. I will have access to those for a short time.

With Photoshop you should edit yourfeet out and maybe clear up the sky a little... but the shot is awesome..... if you want some pointers let me know...

Knowing if they sell is the hard part.. marketing. and all of that jazz... I can get you ready to get it to print and point you in directions for printers as well.
