Here (http://www.elcocolor.com/poster_special.htm) is where I'm planning on getting my print made for my CP, Marquee and Side Art.  I haven't tried them yet so can't say how well they come out but for the price you can't go wrong.  Read the FAQ's and Stipulations.  You need to order at least 2 posters and the DPI is 254. 

Good Luck,
Twin

Although Sir Cooper allows for a higher DPI for print and has no minimums they don't allow "Full Bleeds" (printing to the edge of the paper) and require a 1/4" border.  Also, I couldn't find a mention of what paper they use for Poster prints.  It looks like they do simple Color Printing on a color copier (still good quality) and not Photo printing.  It may be what you are looking for but thought I'd point those things out from what I saw looking over their site.

I mostly use photo print services for cheap posters. The chemical processed prints last very long compared to inktjet prints, and are most of the time cheaper (20x30 inch is 7 euros here). And they go full bleed.
