I liked my artwork of photography and typography, so I decided to print it. First, I though of printing on the Canvas, however, it is quite expensive. When I checked the price for large size (75x150mm), the cost was nearly AU$500.
I thought about printing as a poster and mounted on styrofoam board. I have to do more research how to get the styrofoam and mount properly, or I need to look for someone who can do it.
I asked a local frame shop, but they said that they were not able to help me. I know one place in Brisbane, but I wanted to see it as soon as I could.
I want to try my styrofoam idea one day, but I tried a different thing this time and I think that it would be one of the most reasonable ways.
I asked a local printing company whom I normally use for business card printing. I visited them to see what they can do, and I decided to print on a signboard. The cost was very reasonable for the 620x925mm artwork.
I like the result for the price. It may not be perfect, though. There are some lines from the board, and it is gross finish. (I like mat finish.) If you are looking for a cheaper alternative on large print, this option would be suitable for you.
If you have any suggestions to print large image at reasonable prices, please advise me
