anybody know of a place in vancouver that can print a 1m x 1m image, and do it fairly quickly?

Thanks.

I keep hearing about PacBlue Printing on the radio... how about them?

Most will take a minimum of 2-3 days for colour printing and black and White 1-2 days. I went to Colour Lab Pro. The printing was fairly good quality and the turn over time was quick for me (B&W printing).

I asked a similar question about a month ago. This was the thread: http://www.revscene.net/forums/poster-size-printing-t589881.html?t=589881

What kind of print do you want? Try The Lab.

I dunno, man.... their website looks pretty sketchy. Horrible writing and grammar, not very professional. I can't trust a company that uses a family of bears metaphor to explain differences in printing methods. Haha...

Well, at least it's better than this website:
www.photographertoronto.com

^ Oh yeah, it's definitely a "Cinderella story". ;)

you were right, they totally screwed me. they delayed 2x then said their printer didn't work.

ended up printing for 6 hours on my little ink jet :(

Cool... what did you use to get the fractals look?

Next time try The Lab or G. King. They're going to be more expensive, but the service and quality will be much better.

i modelled it in 3d, then used pepakura create the printable templates, then i cut the pieces out and fold it up.

That's ridiculously cool

[aznrsx1979]

There's a few print houses in Vancouver that can handle prints that size. Pac Blue, Dominion Blue & Arcprint are the places I've dealt with before. The paper stock you end up choosing will have an effect on the speed they can print to.
