Absolutely !!

For sure.

Of course, you can print as large as you want (even a bill board)...it's just up to you as to the level of quality that is acceptable. Viewing distance should also be a consideration (bill boards look terrible from one foot away )

LOL, thank you!

Get a photo you like printed at a size you want to try, and see if you like it. If you like it, print more. If not, try a smaller size. A little expense, but the only sure-fire way of knowing. (Actually, the whole process will probably only set you back $40US or so...)

Or even better resize the photo to the size you want and then crop a 15x15cm section out and print that if you want to get an idea of what resolution you'll be dealing with.

I do 16" x 20" all the time. Customers love'em for Dad's office wall.

I did an 18x24 at the cheap staples printing (laminated and mounted on a board) and it looks great when it's hanging on the wall.

crop a 15x15cm section out

Garbz, I don't know if that would give you the full effect. With a crop, you are more inclined to get up close and notice any imperfections. However, with a large print of the full image, you are more likely to step back and view the picture as intended.
