High Quality B&W Printing Service Needed

[jdryan3]

Does anybody have a recommendation for a lab /printing service that does exceptional B&W prints from a digital file? I know of smugmug, El-Co and Mpix. These will be 12"x 18" or larger. Given the size and run, I am not considering buying a wide carriage pigment based printer at this time.

Can you show me an example of the print(s) you'll be making? :ear

This would be an example. It may have to be reworked to be printed larger. I usually downsize the originals before posting on my site, sharpening for web viewing.

However I have others that will probably be of much greater contrast. I need to get one of those up also.
Thanks Andy!

If I were you, I'd try Mpix True BW :deal

I have ordered several large-sized prints in B&W (20x30) from MPix using their B&W paper stock, their color stock, and their metallic stock. I have never been disappointed in what I got. People love the images I have framed in my office.

I'd also throw in a vote for MPix's True B&W product... I've had several prints done by them that are excellent.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I have used Mpix before, just not for their True B&W. I have gotten large metallic prints done before and they look great. Time to try this service!
