    Hi Cheryl

    Give Macro Art a call… Ive been using them on and off for years. they been around a long time and never seem to push their trade supplies but offer a great product/price and service.

    stipulate the viewing distance of your banner… that way you are making sure you get a good high DPI image… tell them this, they will advise you on whats best rather than just giving you a cheap banner…
    many many trade suppliers simply have one big machine that prints very fast cheap banners and the like… but DPI is very low on many large machines, so anything viewed relatively close or small’ish looks like hell when you walk past / view close. pixels the size of stamps! :lol1:

    Hi Cheryl,

    Try Mark at Trade Print Supplies. They do large printing and the banners I get from them are remarkable really. We are doing a bit of work for a Tesco agency and they have been delighted with the results. Rob is correct, DPI is all important on this stuff.
