its been a while since i last posted here
and figured i would update my experience with
imagekind...

still nothing but a great experience.
they not only have my work on their website, but in a handful of other places
where it can be viewed / purchased ... and if it is a special situation
( like a massive size not listed on their website ) they will do what they can
to create a custom size and custom bill &c, and crate/ship to where it needs to go.
unfortunately, their printers can only print something like 60" wide. so bigger than that
you need to find a "grande format" printer.

if i have troubles down the road, i will make sure to post to this thread ...
but so far, so good
