Idea Post -- Elco Color Printing and Mounting

So after my meeting with Tom we discussed size and presentation for my work.  While I think that 18"x12" is a nice size, I would like to see these images bigger and he mentioned the ongoing poster print sale at Elco Color.  Here is the price listing:


I'm thinking that the 30"x20" prints are looking like my best bet. Not because they're cheaper, but because they're more of the size I want -- just slightly bigger than what I originally presented.  Tom had also mentioned that another student, Zack Concepcion, had gotten his Elco prints mounted there as well. So, I looked into this:


While I don't have a problem with foamcore, and it would be nice to do a one stop shopping kind of thing, these prices are just way too high.  For the critique, I went to Main Art and got 5 prints mounted for I think $28, which is a really great deal especially considering the turn around time (I got them back same day).

I think my best bet is going to be to get my prints made at Elco and then have them mounted at Main Art. I just have to make sure I give myself enough time to get everything taken care of.
