Default printing BIG pictures

i've got some digital photos that i'd like printed fairly large, like poster size.

i've seen that the online photo places like snapfish etc do them as poster prints or large canvasses, but they're too expensive.

i don't want particularly good quality, as they won't be anyway at that size only coming from a 4 megapixel camera and they don't have to last long.

anyone know what/where/how much for something like that?

thanks

If it's just a few, I can possibly get them done at A3 size if you get stuck (colour laser printed, but Marco's came out pretty well from a 5MP camera)?

I have full digital print facilities enabling me to print up to 5 foot wide or high by however long!!

They can be printed onto gloss white and even mounted onto foamex and laminated if needbe!!

Billabong i can do colour a3 at work as well, but thanks for the offer

Chris - maybe if i tell you more about what i'm after you can give me an idea of cost?

i'm having a braai (south african bbq) party in the garden at the end of july and would like to put up some pictures that i took when i was in SA earlier in the year up on the walls, fences etc to give a bit of atmosphere. they only need to be there one day, so just printed on paper and maybe mounted on a bit of ply/mdf/hardboard or something and then fixed to the fence/wall

if you could supply the prints rolled up, then i'd get the board cut and mount them up. does that sound like a reasonable idea?

what size could i go to realistically with a 4 MP picture? i don't expect it to be excellent quality and would expect to see the pixels when close. the 5' wide would be awesome.

have a good holiday, and get in touch when you're back

with 4mp you should get a decent size, 5foot does look awesome but it is quite expensive. A0 is a nice size but would need to see the images first.

I'm away from tomorrow until the 2nd July so can look into it when im back
