Cheat poster pricing - Packet Life

Now that I have the Visio production process settled, I've been thinking about making a "cheat poster" along the same vein as the cheat sheets. The first one will likely feature all the content from the routing protocol cheat sheets on a single 36x24" (or thereabouts) poster. As always, the PDF will be free, but obviously most people lack the capability to print posters, so I've looked into having one printed.

Unfortunately, there aren't many options when it comes to dropshipping custom posters. Specifically, I've come across only two options which seem adequate: Zazzle and CafePress. Making a poster available for sale through either of these outlets will run $20-25 per copy before shipping; does that sound like a fair price?

If anyone can suggest a cheaper alternative I'm all ears.

I would most certainly drop up to $25 for this poster.

Good news, actually. I've been looking into having it printed in bulk and selling it myself (through an eBay store, or something similar) and I think I can do it much cheaper. Plus I'd get to bulk-order hundreds of cardboard mailing tubes. That alone seems reason enough to give it a go.

Awesome. Sounds good. Honestly I need some network posters for my bare walls in my office.

Walmart.com has a poster print option. It is like $17.00 for for poster size prints. I don't know if it works with PDF or if you could convert to JPG, but you could generate a photo album and share it from here so people could order.

Just a thought.
