30"x20" print

Just got my 30x20 inch print from digitalfotofx in Coffs Harbour. It was printed on an Epson 9600, (then laminated for advertising purposes), and if I may say so, looks sensational. Cost $40 retail (print only), I'm sure if I get some repeat business for this size the cost will come down.

HN Coffs Hbr is installing some large printers this week, not sure of prices at this stage.

It all proves that D70 raw files are exceptional for enlargements of this size.

Sweet, great to hear it looks good. i am sure if it's as good as you say that you 'should' get some business up and going :) That would be cool. :)

Has anyone tried some of those "interpolation" programmes enabling larger prints to be made? Do they work? If so, just how big a print could be made from D70? Just thinking out loud here :-)

20 x 30 inch enlargements from D70 files shot on ISO 250 reproduce very well. Half of the image frame should also come up to this size with a bit of sharpening.

Ozimax, sirhc55 gave a great example of two of those programs and enlarged up to a 95mb file. Do a search on his name. He also just bought the same printer as you :wink:

There is no limit. It all depends on the viewing distance. try this...open a full length human figure on your computer and zoom in until an eye fills the screen. Looks pretty blocky eh? Now walk backwards and when you get a fair distance back it will look sharp.

Looking at finished prints and viewing on screen are very different, my reference is to looking at the finished print up close.

There were some posts on exactly this just in the last week or so. I think Chris started the thread, posting examples of images processed using a few different applications. Do a search for GF snd see what turns up.
