Suggestions for Printing Large Panoramas?

[RussHeath]

I've had great luck with printing at several pro labs, such as Millers, Bay Photo, and MPIX. However, none of them seem to offer odd very large sizes to print photos like these:





Any suggestions? The height to width seems to be approximately 1:5, so I'm looking at printing 8x40 or 1 foot by 5 feet (I usually scan at 3200 dpi, so these are 40-50 MB files). I could always split them up into lots of smaller photos, which has its charm, but I would really like single large prints. Thanks for any help!

Some Kinko's locations (but not all) have the capability to print large format color from a digital file. Not sure if they have kept up with that since Fed-Ex took over but might be worth a phone call to find out.

Find yourself a local private printer and see what they can offer you. Tell them you have a 5:1 panorama to print and would like to know what they can do

OsmosisStudios is right. If you have a local independant printer who can handle the job the quality will be better than you could get at Kinko's.

Thanks to you both, I'll see if I can find a local printer up to the challenge and otherwise use Kinko's as a fall back. I have some 5 x 30s ordered from Bay Photo, just to see how they look in print, but I do think I might want something larger . . .
