Bogie is Da Man!
« on: June 19, 2007, 09:08:47 AM »
Have to put in a plug for Bogie...

A few weeks ago I posted this thread about a photo I was doing for Mom and Dad:

http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=7334.msg118439#msg118439

I was considering printing options when I remembered Bogie talking about kicking off his large-format printing business:

http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=7102.msg114015#msg114015

I gave Bogie a shot at it and he came through with flying colors!  I had him do one print on photo paper and another on canvas.  Both of them look GREAT!

If any of you folks have printing needs I can't recommend him enough.

Thanks, Brad... Just happy to be able to help out.
My photo quality stuff is at 100% go, but the vinyl is still a work in progress.

Bogie, glad to hear you're up and running (and already satisfying forum members  laugh).  If I ever need any big prints, I'll let you know.

Well, I'm able to go to 44" x whatever, so if you really need that 6' M1911A1 to hang on your living room wall, we can do it...

Large Format?

Bogie,

My daughter is something of an artist.

She did a poster-sized Koi painting, scanned it, and sold the original.

If I can find the original scan (300MB TIFF) is that something you can reproduce?

What sizes?

Thanx.

Yeah, I can do that.
 
44" x up to about 100' or so max size... Think big.
 
Really big.
 
I can either set up an FTP or you could mail a CD or a thumb drive (which will be mailed back with the print). Please don't trust the mail with your only copy of something.

You could do some really neat stuff with that. Like a banner with chronologically arranged pictures of someone's life and times.

Kind of like a photo album stretched way out.

What are the general guidelines for pixel count on an image that'll be blown up to, say, 36"x40" or whatever's proportional?

I have a few photographs that came out well... I have them as b/w negatives and color slides...

Go for hyuge.
 
I can run a 3 megapixel jpeg with minimal compression (don't compress if you don't have to - it messes things up) up to about 24x36. For 36x48, I'd say minimum would be six.
