My wife has found an image on Shutterstock that she wants to get onto a splashback for our kitchen. It's expensive and We're concerned it will look crap, is it possible to get it printed onto paper first so we can get a good idea of what it will look like when scaled up to the size we need?
I don't see why not, but you will still have to buy the image first. Large format prints aren't cheap either if it's a big area. Also bear in mind that it will look very different printed on to the back of glass? for a splash back compared to paper
Get it printed on vinyl and overlay it with a clear glass splashback?
I have this picture printed on 1.2m wide vinyl wallpaper on the wall of my office -Â 2.4 m x 2.4 m .
It looks ace.
What PP said. I do a lot of wide-format printing. I've just done a 14 metre mural onto vinyl covering 2 whole walls, with CNC'ed plastic over the top.

Get in touch with your local signage company who will have high-quality wide-format printers. If you're sending them a vector they'll love you. It'll make a nice change from the 72dpi png file someone just grabbed off google.
Whereabouts are you? I can put you in touch with a great company in north manchester if you're anywhere in the vicinity
I have done exactly this a few times - biggest was about 3m x 1m (as in print & supply the vinyl image, NO WAY would I get involved with handling & applying a vinyl to a piece of glass that big 😂) The glass cut be cut to fit around sockets, cupboards etc, ended up looking pretty good each time!Get it printed on vinyl and overlay it with a clear glass splashback?
Just buy the highest-res bitmap from Shutterstock (or as Binners says, ideally a vector), it'll be fine 👍
