don't know exactly where to ask but... ...
ok... I'm looking to make some custom posters for my room but I'm not sure exactly what's the best place to do it...
so far I've found 2 places that you can actually upload the file at the site and adjust the cropping a bit

www.fullsizeposters.com
http://us.posterxxl.com

Are there any other places I should know about? Anything I should take into consideration like image size?

DPI (Dots per inch), the more you have, the better your image will look. If the image has 72 dpi and you try to have it enlarged to 20 x 30 it'll look like shit cause the pixels have to be spread out to cover the new dimensions.

how does the resolution of the file have affect dpi? cause all the pictures I've posted so far have 300 dpi
also, the first site says whether or not the size is too big for the picture

to clarify what this Anon was saying a bit: dpi - the number of dots that make up 1 pixel. More dots means the greater detail each pixel will have. Everything the Anon said about enlarging the pic is true though

Simple and save money.

If you have a good printer at home, Make your poster 24 x 36 150 dpi, and send it to Illustrator, print it with Full Page Tile, and over at 0.25.

Itll take some good cutting, tape, but the end result will cost less than anywhere else, I have 3 home made posters on my wall :D

DPI is NOT the number of dots that make up 1 pixel. a pixel is a pixel. DPI is the number of pixels(dots) per inch. If you take something 72 dpi but want to print it much larger, you have to effectively make your dots/pixels bigger, which can look like crap.

You COULD print your own.

try the rasterbator.

PS - I have an HP Designjet 750C Plus that prints 36" wide paper, and I highly recommend it. I have printed several of OP's pic series ("Violet Earth" by Shunya Yamashita) and they print well, even at 3' x 4'.
