Hello.

We print the "photos" you have taken and the "illustrations" you have drawn with your soul on carefully selected art paper and deliver them to you.
As we live in the printing industry, in this article we will introduce five companies that provide large format printing services .
Printing companies are characterized by their price, service quality, paper quality, and shipping speed , but this time we will focus on price .
In preparing this article, I looked at the websites of other companies, and I found that all companies have different ways of selling their products, and as I know, it is not possible to make simple comparisons, especially when it comes to "price." It was.
First of all, since the photo paper used for printing differs from company to company, it is natural that there will be price differences , and I would like to say at the outset that I do not want you to make a general decision based on high or low prices. …!
However, it is natural for beginners to start printing by looking at the price in order to get a starting point, and I understand that feeling.
"Printing" has a lot to do with the world, such as whether you want to print posters, create works for photo exhibitions, or create tapestries or banners, and if you can choose the right printing company, it will be helpful for everyone. I think it will be in good shape .
In this article,
For those who are looking for a printing company, saying, “I want to try large-format printing, but where should I order?”

Master of large format printing
(Reference source: Master of large format printing)
This company is one of the cheapest and easiest to use .
A major feature is the speedy delivery of printed matter.
We may be a strong ally for those who wish to print posters at a low price and with speedy delivery.
The price is 1,342 yen for both "glossy paper" and "matte paper" for A2 size.
It looks like 0.19mm glossy paper, so I guess it's a thin glossy paper.
The matte paper is 0.2mm thick matte paper.
The thick matte paper sold by EPSON is 0.21mm, so it seems to be a thinner matte paper than that.
It is easy for users to see and understand that the price remains the same even if the paper type changes.
I have never ordered from them myself, but there are many good reviews so I can see that many people are using them.
Prio

The price is 1,420 yen for "glossy paper" A2 size.
It's called "glossy paper," and it's unclear which manufacturer's paper is actually used, but from what I've seen on the website, it seems like paper with a thickness of about 0.2 mm is used.
"Matte paper" is 1,250 yen for A2 size.
The thickness is also indicated as "0.2mm" like glossy paper.
Both glossy paper and matte paper are 0.2mm thick and this price is "cheap".
It's especially attractive that the matte paper costs 1,250 yen.
If it were from other companies, it would cost about 2,000 yen on average, so it's amazing that it's both cheap and fast .
large format master
(Reference source: Large format master)
This company has a wide lineup of products.
We handle 18 types of products, including poster printing, panel printing, and double-sided panel printing.
We aim for the lowest prices in the printing industry, which is especially true for poster printing on matte paper.
The price is 1,500 yen for A2 size "fine glossy paper".
The thickness of the paper is 0.21mm, so I think this is also in the thin category.
"Fine matte paper" is 1,350 yen.
Since it is a matte paper that is less likely to cause diffused reflection, it may be easy to use for presentations of materials.
Looking at the price list, the price is low even if you order a large number of pieces.
It’s amazing that you are making this happen!
e-one large print
(Reference source: E-One Large Print)
E-One Large Format Print is a printing company that offers same-day shipping at the earliest.
This page lists the names of paper sold by each manufacturer, so you can specify the paper directly when ordering .
It seems that they also have art paper available, so it might be a good idea for people who want to seriously create works for photo exhibitions and the like.
The price is 2,200 yen for "EPSON Profoto Thick Glossy Paper" A2 size (high definition).
You can select the printing resolution from "High Definition" or "Ultra High Definition".
Even if it is ultra-high definition, it costs 2,400 yen.
It costs over 2,000 yen, but the appeal of this is that you can specify the paper you use.
There are several types of matte paper, and for example, EPSON's PX premium matte paper costs 2,000 yen.
You can select "high definition" or "ultra high definition" for each photo, making it suitable for creating works for photo exhibitions, and the nice thing about it is that you can give detailed instructions for each photo.
Kinko's
(Reference source: Kinko's Japan Co., Ltd.)
Kinko's Japan Co., Ltd. is a large and well-known company in the industry.
“Major” means a lot to users.
The fact that we are stable as a company is one of the things that gives us peace of mind when it comes to continuing to place orders.
The price is 3,300 yen for A2 size poster printing on both glossy and matte paper.
There seems to be a discount depending on the number of sheets ordered, but it seems that there is a file fee when submitting the file.
If it is a PDF file, the fee is 550 yen, so an A2 size order is 3,850 yen.
It seems a little expensive if you order just one piece, but they offer a VD (volume discount), so if you're interested, check out the website.
