I guess this is the most suitable section for this.
Right, I'm working on my final major project at college, and need to get my prints done and mounted for hanging by the 17th. Not a lot of time, I know.
Under normal circumstances I would have gone to Spectrum in Hove, but with Four Corners folding all their work has gone over to Spectrum so they are running on a 15 working day backlog.
Thus I feel I will have to strike further afield (as I am not going to the Vault for prints again, the quality just was not good enough).
For this reason I think London is going to be my best option, as it is only 90 minutes or so by train from Eastbourne.
What I'm looking for is large prints (probably 28 x 24 inch) and I need to get them mounted too. The turnaround time doesn't need to be very fast, but ten days is probably reasonable for me.
Cost is not that much of an issue, I've mentally budgeted £300 or so, but that's flexible.
So does anybody have any recommendations and/or experience?
Cheers in advance, Tom

Im also student, at the moment, looking at
printspace, ( http://www.theprintspace.com/ )who have examples of all their printing styles/paper in store, ive seen nice stuff coming from them. fairly cheap to, if i recall c-type 30x40 for 40 quid, unmounted, they do all the weird and fancy aluminum/foam mounting solutions to.
they also usually print same day depending on demand btw
other than that ive heard genesis is meant to be good but very pricey.

Thanks for all of the input guys.
I'm leaning towards Metro, I've had them recommended IRL too, so they are winning at the moment.

So it turns out Metro's mounter is away on hoiday atm, so I'm going to have to try elsewhere.
