Props to rfg from Whirlpool forum (in the 11" x 14" thread) for spotting this!
Obviously not as good as the 11" x 14" for $1, but still a pretty damn good price for quite a big print…got quite a few from that $1 deal, and even though my expectations was quite low, the photos actually turned out pretty good, as long as you don't the kiosk/machine to auto-correct your shots…
For those of you looking for frames, Big W is still selling 2-pack 12" x 16" for $6…not the best of quality, as it is quite thin, but to get a 12" x 16" photo framed for $6, don't think I'll be complaining….:)

EDIT - Offer available in-store only

    Thought about buying a new A3 Printer … but maybe I should hold off now. 3$ is a decent price for that size.

    Enlargement for three dollars? sign me up!

  • Snibbo on 04/09/2012 - 15:27

    I had thirty odd enlargements made during the 11x14 for $1 each offer and I found the quality to be very good. On that occasion the wait time stretched out a bit (as long as about a week) as my local Big W ran out of the paper and had to wait for some more.

    Never used this service before, can I take in a massive resolution digital image and have it printed out 12x16 to use as a small wall poster or does enlargement imply you have to copy a smaller physically existing photo ?

    • ibe1st on 04/09/2012 - 16:04

      bring in your .jpg and have it printed.

    • John Dough on 04/09/2012 - 17:00

      The larger the file the better the result (although there could be an upper limit on size)
      You will need to keep/crop it in a ratio that matches 12 X 16 In (30.5cm X 40.6 cm) (most photo programs will let you crop to a standard size)

      Also note I have ordered online before I wonder if this offer will be available online?? That would be good, save a trip there and just pick up instead once its ready :) edit: Just saw edit, in store only :(

    At first I was like "YES, I do require enlargement for my Big W!" but then I realised it was for digital prints.

  • bargaino on 04/09/2012 - 17:12

    Not surprising.
    When they did the 11"x14" offer, it used 12" paper which had to be manually cropped after printing.

  • Geewhizz on 05/09/2012 - 06:18

    I did a comparison between BigW and Hardly Normal when the $1 enlargements offers were on (same pics both stores) and the BigW ones were far superior.

    • Duff5000 on 05/09/2012 - 09:56

      given they use the same machines and the same paper I doubt you are going to see any difference unless one machine hadn't been maintained recently.

      edit: depending on the stores you went to it is possible you use an epson inkjet on one and a wet lab at the other. That wouldn't be a even comparison.

  • rubatos on 05/09/2012 - 10:05

    Go! Go! Go!

  • barbarella on 07/09/2012 - 08:40

    can they do one from a pic on iPhone?

    • Quiexo on 07/09/2012 - 09:38

      Which iPhone do you have? 3GS - 3MP camera, crap results; iPhone 4 - 5MP, average results; iPhone 4S - 8MP, decent results..
      As to whether you can just bring your iPhone to the kiosk and download your pics straight from your iPhone, I'm not too sure…there's a USB port on the machine, so bring your iPhone cable and give it a shot, it may work…

      • barbarella on 07/09/2012 - 12:09

        I only have a 3GS :(
        thanks for your info tho :)

        • John Dough on 07/09/2012 - 15:10

          Would be a pretty sure bet that it wont work, a normal usb stick has enough trouble!
          Tip: Put your photos in the 'root' directory, not in a folder like 'photos' it will be far easier to pick up the photos on the stick.

          I picked my 8 enlargements up today and the 2X Frames for $6 - I am entirely pleased with the results and will be going again before this promo runs out!

          Great Deal!

        • barbarella on 07/09/2012 - 19:21

          thx :)

  • z0idberg on 12/09/2012 - 09:35

    Wish I'd seen this earlier.

    Does this end today (12th) or tomorrow (13th)?

    Catalogue says start 6th and runs for 7 days, so not sure when exact end is.

    • ajdj10 on 13/09/2012 - 12:09

      Ends on the 19th according to the website.

      • z0idberg on 13/09/2012 - 14:39

        sweet! thanks
