The next site I visited was PosterPrintShop.com. I ordered today a 30x30 customized poster with a high gloss finish. Total cost to me was $43, including shipping. I am hoping the quality of the paper stock is much better. Once I receive it, I'll let you know what I think. I am impressed at the easy user-friendly interface this site has to offer. It was a quick and easy matter to upload my image, crop, and place the order. They test the quality of your image and give you an idea of how large a print is best, given the size and quality of your image. I have found that an image of at least 2400pix is necessary for a 30 inch print.
I also visited FineArtAmerica.com. For quality poster prints, this site is also limited and I was unable to crop my uploaded image on the site. They only offer standard sizes and one kind of paper. So far, this site doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for.
I went to VistaPrint.com and ordered a 24x36 glossy poster. I will be eager to see the quality of this one, too. Total cost was $42, including shipping. They only offer standard sizes, and card stock is only available for an 11x17. They do have a useful cropping/editing interface that is helpful.
These are the images I am using as test cases for posters. I am developing a series of digital prints to sell as posters, if I can just find a good price for a quality print on a paper stock that is better than a roll of toilet tissue.
