combination you wanted.
Try searching for it and try it out, it might not be what you want but at
least it's free to try.

Check out these folks, I have a 20 x 30 and a 30 x 60 done by them and
both came out very nice. The 20x30 was $10 and the 30 x 60 was $30,
not too bad.

I had some 36 X 40 prints made at a local reproduction shop that
specialized in building prints. They do color also. As I remember the
pricing was less than $20.00 each. The girl who did the work would take
any media and resize as well. I just took her a CD and minutes later
out of the printer it came.

If you print in sections, aim for a slight overlap and print on the
thinnest paper, leave the overlaps in place.

Or use heavier paper, overlap and cut around objects if possible - aim
for no straight line cuts. Use a box cutter or scalpel, not scissors.

Printing should be not less than 70ppi (screen resolution)

Resample the image if necessary.

A4 is 29.7 x 21cm. 36" square is 90cm. Printing in 12 wedges (3x4
landscape) would yield around 87cm x 84cm (1" & 1.5" less) - may vary
according to overlaps.

Figure how much 12 prints would cost you before comparing the online
photo printers
