Deciding On The Best Size Of Large Photo Prints

By Jason Manford


If you love large photo prints or you are looking to do some decorating in your home, then you want to make sure you are very careful in finding the right size for a large photo print. Whether you want a large photo print for your home office, bedroom, or guest house, using the guidelines outlined in this article can help you. Becoming familiar with the different sizes of the bigger photo prints is a good first step.

You may find a lot of photo printing companies that print photos as large as 40 inches wide. Examples sizes of big photo prints range from 11x14 to 40x60. The price of prints can be different depending on the size picture the customer wants, the graphics wanted in the photo, and the photo quality. To purchase photos smaller than an 11x14 large photo, you should visit a regular print or photography studio.

Buying or printing a large photo print should be a difficult. It's as simple as knowing exactly what you want, who you need to talk to, and where you need to go. This will save you from wasting money, becoming unnecessarily frustrated, and wasting time. Talking to a professional print shop is a good idea even if they do not specialize in larger pictures. A printing shop should certainly be able to point you in the right direction.

Whenever you purchase a large photo or print one yourself (if you are able to do so) make sure you have the measurements you are looking for. For example, if you want to hang up a large photo print in your living room, measure the length and width of the wall and then decide how much of the wall you want to use. This will help you tremendously when you finally purchase and or print a large photo print.

If you have a measurement for a picture that a company does not have on their list of the sizes they print, do not worry or stress. Many of the companies that specialize in large prints have machines that will print any size photo the customer wants as long as it fits the company's printing criteria. It is advisable to call a company before you decide to print to make sure they can print the picture you want.

It is also helpful if you know a photographer or can call a photographer about measurements and what they feel will be the best measurements for your large photo print. Be sure to be as detailed as possible with what you are trying to do so they can give you the best possible advice on what they think would be best. Interior decorators would also be a great point of contact since they are good with measurements, decorating, organizing, and arranging.

Always keep in mind with dealing with large photo prints that the measurements that you come up with may not always be accurate. Even if you are good at measuring things, unless you are a professional you may not be as on the target as photo printing companies. So keep stay open about finding the right size for a large photo print.
