I have some stitched images that I'd like to offer for sale at sizes up to 6 feet x 18 feet (and possibly larger). I know a lot of places that print at 44" or 48" wide, but it's hard to find places that go larger. I know there's a place around Federal and Hampden that once printed a 6'x9' print for one of my clients, but I forget the name.
Also, does anyone have recommendations on preparing really large images for hanging? I know that with ColorPlak you can go up to 48x96, but what would you do for something larger?
Thanks!

I would ask the framing place thats inside the Reed/Fielder Gallery on Sante Fe. I am sure they can help you or at least put you in the right direction.

At those sizes you'll be dealing with companies that produce trade show graphics and retail displays. Google those terms and I'm sure you'll find lots of solutions.
If you don't mind going out of state, Duggal in NYC is the best there is. Even if you don't end up using them, you should at least check out their web site and range of services... nobody else comes close.

Thanks guys.
It looks like Duggal has a 72"-wide lightjet printer and a 72" inkjet printer. Pretty impressive. Maybe I'll have to stitch together 50 images and print a 6 foot x 30 foot image. First, though, I'll have to buy a bigger house to hang it in .
I may ask some framers / photo labs how you'd hang the really big images. But if anyone has suggestions on this, I'd appreciate it.

Canvas on a frame might be a really good option Grant.

Laminated to synthetic board; Duggal also has lots of options for that.
