Just to let you all know the free print sample service at Epson is back in operation.

I sent my CD off about two weeks ago and called yesterday...they said they had been inundated but if I have a reference number and the picture meets their requirements I will receive the A2 linen picture too..

What premium finish is it best to go for, I would like to get one for my mother in law for Christmas as she lives in Gibraltar and doesnt get to see the kids very often

Sorry to ask again can anyone tell me what the best finish is to go for the A2 print, I want to get one sorted quick before they pull the offer again.

Well, the linen weave finish is nice if you like that sort of thing...not as crisp as I imagine some of the others will be but does give a nice sort of 'painted' effect...very pleased with mine

Going to sort my photo out tonight so I can send of for it, how long roughly does it take to come back?

surely there some software that can blow a pic up to 2976x4209 for a2?

or does anyone kow of a site with some nice images at the size 2976x4209?



PS here are some images - mainly anime http://www.google.com/search?q=2976x4209

I'm not an expert in these matters but I don't think you want to just 'blow up' your image as increasing the size will turn ok pixels into blocks on a larger image. Most digital cameras have 72 dots (pixels) per inch and what you need is atleast 180 according to Epson - so I guess you need an incredible camera to begin with or you need to scan an existing photo at high definition. I'll be doing mine at 1200dpi tomorrow.

Would anyone who has received an A2 print care to explain how they met Epson's criteria?

Mine took about 5 days in all...very quick. Got the confirmation email that the pic was usable 4 days after posting and the finished thing arrived next day.

That was my second attempt tho as the first pic didn't meet the criteria and they told me to apply again.

Only managed the A4 print, but still jolly pleased with it.

Best of luck
