Making a picture into a poster at staples?

Question

how much would it cost to make a picture that you got off the internet into a poster? and would a 4x4 picture be too small to make it? i want it laminated also. lol, what are the sizes and cost? thank you so so much.

Answer 1

Someone's already covered the copyright issue, so I won't belabor the point.  Do what's right.

Staples doesn't have prices online, at least not without submitting the job to them.  'Sizes up to 24" x 36" - Mounting and laminating also available.'

I uploaded a 1500px x 2100px (5x7 at 300 pixels per inch) image.

- 24x36 on heavyweight paper: $42.  

- 24x36 on photo paper: $48.  

- 24x36 lamination is another $12, regardless of the paper quality.

A 4" x 4" web picture (72 pixels per inch) may just turn out as a lot of very fuzzy dots.

Answer 2

The biggest cost might be buying the photograph. If you do not own the rights you cannot make it into a poster.

Onward; 4x4 what? Inches, pixels? It sounds small.

Many people consider posters 16x20" or bigger...so a 4x4" picture enlarged would probably look pretty poor.
