I am wondering if there is a web-site/business that offers affordable poster printing in small quantaties.

I seem to remember a site where I printed out a single poster about 3 years ago that was very affordable. However, after some time, I have lost the bookmark to that site and can no longer remember what it was. I'd like to think it was www.myposter.com but it doesn't appear to be that site. The site I did go through used to print movie posters for as long as $22.00.

All in all, I have a single movie poster that I have created for a friends indie film and I'd like to print a single copy or two of that poster out. The size is a regular movie poster size.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I don't know what regular movie poster size is, but Cafepress.com can do 23x35 posters for $17.99.

They also offer smaller ones - - 16x20 for 13.99 and 11x17 for $4.99 but that's probably too small.

Regular movie poster is something like 27x40 inches.

The Cafepress posters are really nice quality. You can also try zazzle.com for more paper, matting and framing options.

And, if you hunt around in your yellow pages, you will likely find a service bureau near you similar to my local Color Pages who can print it on their ridiculously large, ridiculously high-res inkjet printer.

And it appears that one-sheet's are either 27x40 or 27x41 depending on their age.

I'm sorry: you can expect to pay between $8 and 15 per square foot, unmounted, depending on the stock.

I was searching for info about printing posters earlier this evening (which is how I found this thread). I have no idea as to how the service is, but elcocolor.com has a poster printing special where you can get a 30"x40" print for $19.90 -- with the stipulation that you have to order at least two prints from them (though they don't have to be the same thing twice, you can order two different prints).
