Originally posted by rrstuff Does she have a university around? They often do large format printing because their graphic departments need to print conference posters that are 40 - 60 inches wide. Sometimes they are not only limited to serving the university community, but they don't advertise. It's possible they could print and frame on a board and prices could be better since they are not after a profit. That's just one extra thought. $105 for a 30x40 mounted image sounds reasonable.
That is an interesting idea. Yes, ASU (Arizona State University) is just down the road. Just a quick search and it appears that it's just internal use.
