Printing panoramic photos

[krinked]

Any suggestions as to where I can print out a panoramic photo about 18cm x 80cm in size? I've stitched together 5 standard digital photos in ArcSoft Panorama Maker 3, but can't find anywhere that prints non-standard panoramic photos. Help!!

Do you mean professionally? or at home?

most print shops will just print it on the next standard size up, with white space on the rest and then cut it back down.

If you mean at home then there are several banner making/printing software programmes

Thanks Ian. I did want the print done professionally - don't think my printer would be up to it!

Tried getting it done in Boots before, but they just printed out a section of it as a standard sized photo. I'll try asking them to print it out as a larger size with white space as suggested. Maybe I need to try somewhere more specialist though?

See if you can find a digital printers in your area krinked... I only say as I have been looking at all manner of photo quality printers on the net, there are some that work with a roll of photo paper as opposed to sheets of paper & these can print anything up to 5 meters long!

I had a big print (3'x2') done of a digital file and it cost under �40 posted.

Stunning quality too.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I went to a local specialist photolab earlier today who were really helpful and good value. Should be ready to pick up tomorrow. I'll put a posting on here to let you know how it turns out. Thanks again!

Quick update...print turned out really well. Really pleased with the quality - will definitely do some more in the future.
