I need to get some larger prints done, for example 11x14, 16x20. Studio space became available locally. I have yet to purchase a pro printer. Also looking for print to canvas. There are literally hundreds of online businesses that do this. Price range from good to outrageous. Who do you guys use and why ? Thanks

There was just a post somewhere recently of a business that came out with a method that was like 1/4 the typical cost but did not sacrifice quality... I wish for the life of me I could remember a name for you.

Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

That would be great...

I am partial to the SmugMug printing options. I have had one batch I was not happy with and they replaced them no questions asked. It is also amazingly easy for me, I just order the prints I want right out of my SmugMug gallery. Their options include mounting and printing on canvas. You can see the options here http://www.smugmug.com/prints/catalog/ABC#BayPhoto

Also I was going with 11x14 being inches, not meters or feet.

I have an Epson 3880 (an A2 printer). Very happy with the quality and control I have over the prints. With 80ml tanks, the cost per print is about half of my little A4 printer (11ml cartridges). When I took into account the volume of ink that came with the printer I was $400 better off buying this A2 (3880) printer than if I had settled on the A3+ printer. A2 prints just look stunning - and I love the convenience. It also doesn't take up an excessive amount of desk space.

Living in Australia, the use of Smugmug printers just is not workable with locals who want to buy a print.

I just saw this 50% off being offered via Smugmug.
