We print in-house up to 24' wide but for jobs that require larger prints
we have used Starprintz in Verona, WI. Steve Walston, the owner, can be
reached at 877-213-6566 or at Starprintz.com
If you mention my name, maybe he'd give you our price.

Subject: low cost large sized posters?
We are preparing some wall posters for our museum and are interested in
how to do it inexpensively. We need to design, print, mount, and
display them. I think about 24x36 would be OK for the size for most of
them.
Any suggestions? Have you done it yourself? We had an estimate of
$300 per poster (I think those may have been 3x4 feet) to take our
pictures and text and create the mounted poster. I tried creating some
posters with Printshop, printing them in some smaller pieces, assembling
and spray gluing them to masonite (cost of about $10 per poster), but
they look pieced together and sort of less than professional!
The local printshop wants $75 just for a single piece poster print
from our print ready file--seems pretty steep! Then we would have to
mount them ourselves and hang them.
Thanks
