I'd like to get some posters done, but where is a good place? Is zazzle.com good? I've been considering them heavily!

I use gotprint.com for a lot of my printing. Good quality and super cheap. Not sure about smaller quantities though. Also, never printed posters there--just business cards, postcards, and brochures.

low number prints - like 1 to 3 at the most!

Have you tried a local mom and pop print shop? I got some done back in the day (rush job) and it was 40 a piece. Just make sure you find out what format they want it in, if they have to change it, it will add to the price.

Ours were 24 x 36, foam core mounted.

Printing is one thing, what about design? What can one expect a graphics artist to charge to design a movie poster?.... Ballpark?

I charged 150 when I did them, but that was to friends. Plus they have to give me a feel for what they want and supply me with the stills and framegrabs.

Wow, I like that ballpark!!! Yeah, I figure a bit more than that. Thanks.

That's just me. GD's charge a heck more.
