Tried RGBdigital (QLD) which were cheap, had to get them re-printed though as the prints weren't ummm, as good as I hoped...

TheEdge (Collingwood) I use for anything where I want a known excellent print quality but they're not cheap, they go up to 32" in the long dimension...

They're the only one's I've used to far... Don't know if that's any help tho...

I cant express how much I love using Digilab in Brisbane - they do have an ftp - mailback system. http://www.digilab.com.au

I can also recommend Digitalworks.

Fantastic quick service and the quality was 100%. I had one Pano done in Metallic and six images done in Matt (A4 size).

I will send my prints back there again, no hesitation.

Cheers

I have an Epson 9600 (110cm wide) at work (Melbourne). We charge $100 per square metre. Will do $60 per square metre for forum members.
We print on pearl finish Ilford 280gsm paper.
