3rd party printer for panoramic
I am looking for a third party printer that can print large (for me) color panoramic images.
I have several large panoramic images (50X20 inches...135-180MP) with file sizes of 350-500 MB that I need to have printed. I prefer Gallerie Gold Silk paper because that is what I typically use and I have already proofed the images on that paper.
Recommendations appreciated.

Try Dean Imaging in Atlanta, GA. Excellent but not cheap.

Hi Donald,
I print pans, but I've stopped stocking the Ilford Gold Fibre Silk paper. Although it looks great, it has too many manufacturing flaws as of this time last year. I had a 24"x96" panoramic to print and went through a 40' roll before I got a flawless print last year. Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta, or Museo Silver Rag are much better options IMOP.
Best,

The best thing is that they are always ready to listen your problems because they believe that communications between commercial printers and their clients is vital in building a healthy relationship.

Thank you for your information. I gather that you do 3rd party work. Do you have a website?

Perhaps anecdotal as it's been 2-3 years since I last used it, but I had to toss many prints due to flaking and other fragility issues (roll only; not cut sheets). There are more durable and better surfaced papers than GFS, such as Museo Silver Rag. Subjectively speaking, I believe that it's the best of papers in its class.

Thanks for your responses on GS paper. I have been printing on cut sheets and not experienced a problem...it sounds as if rolls are a different matter.

The guy I use for large prints, prints on Gold Fiber Silk. He is a superb craftsman. http://www.carrimage.net/
