Right, attempt number two at selling posters. This time it is different, I have not invested anything yet.
I set up this page which pretty much explains everything, but i'll explain here too:
Basically, what I print and the size of the print is up to you guys. I have medium format photos now (all the square ones) and those bad boys can be enlarged bigger then I'd be able to print, the other photos, the digital ones, they can still only really go up to 12x18" (about A3), so those sizes will be the same as last time.
I'm using a different printer this time and they offer prints from A2 (16.5x23") to A0 (roughly 2.75ft x 4ft), but I need quantity, I need 20 prints on one paper size (doesn't have to be the same image) before the price is good. The paper is also different now, the quality isn't as good because its 'poster' quality not 'photo'. But they have 2 types of paper too, one is 'silk' which is more poster like, its basically normal paper with a bit of a shine to it, or there is gloss which is more like photo paper. I'm inclined to go with silk because i didn't really like the glossiness of the last posters.
If anybody does want a digital print then its a bit harder because I want to avoid using 2 printers if I can, so I may put 2 a3 sized posters on one a2 page and cut them out, which would work and would cut the price down from last time.
I can print A3, A2, A1 and A0. The paper sizes are explained here: Paper sizes
If you need to convert any metric just use Google, eg. search: 500mm in inches. Keep in mind that any square photos will be square posters, so a 2.75ft x 4ft piece of paper would have 2.75x2.75ft of photo.
You can pretty much get any scooter photo of mine printed, the main photos I want to print are posted on the website page, but I have also posted a topic in 'Pictures' with a bunch of other photos in it. I don't really want to be printing loads of different pictures but just talk to me if you specifically want one done. Here are a few thumbnails, bigger images can be seen on the link I posted above:

Prices
Ok, these prices might change but hopefully you get the rough idea, they're bit more expensive then I hoped because the printing people had to add on VAT (a 17.5% tax we get in the uk) and delivery.
A3 :: Ã?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?£4.10 ($7.78)
A3 photo quality :: Ã?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?£6.00 ($11.38)
A2 :: Ã?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?£8.24 ($15.64)
A1 :: Ã?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?£13 ($24.67)
A0 :: Ã?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?£18.80 ($35.68)
Those are US$, go to xe.com if you need currency conversion.
A3 photo quality is using the same printing place as last time, thsoe will be on glossy paper and in much better quality then the poster printing.
Postage costs:
Those prices don't include postage and packaging, I can't really give a final price until I have the tubing and poster, I'm guessing that postage for an A0 poster to USA/Canada would be around $11 and for an A3 poster it would be around $3.70. No guaranties though..
