Looking for a bit of advice im looking to get a print made probably about 20-16 inch of a black and white long exposure seascape i recently posted in photos, i would like to know the best paper and finish to specify for such a print and any recommendations for good printers.

Regards

I can recommend DSCL as a printing company. Others will be better qualified than me re papers..

any good independent photographic shop near you will have a list or even framing companys
may i ask is it on digital or film
if film a local camera club a member there may just help you out if they have a dark room and may just let you have a go at printing it yourself which will make it mor special to you as you have done it your self

I would have a Giclee print made on one of the Fuji or Hannemulle Fine Art papers at Loxley Colour. They will send you a little book of paper swatches to help you choose

Depending upon settings that were used for capture and/or computer processing the image; strongly weigh the option of printing off a few METAL copies
