Title: Can you recommend a printer for prints on Canvas
Post by: sbonk on December 03, 2007, 22:18

I want to try a print to canvas. This will be my first time. Can anyone recommend a good online site where I can order canvas prints? Most that I have found limit you to canned sizes. You must then crop your photo to fit one of there sizes. I want to be able to print at any size. For example, the photo I want to try first would be in a size of about 15X23. Most places seem to want 16X20. If you not send that size, they will crop your photo.

You can try www.finerworks.com Haven't used them myself, but I've seen their canvas prints at a friend's home, he says they're quite good.

From their web site, it appears they also do custom sizes.

Thank you ptlee. I will look into them more and will probably try them. The prices are very reasonable and it does look like you can print at any dimensions..

I think he paid using paypal, using his microstock earnings  ;D, and probably shipped via vpost. Also, his was framed locally.

As for quality, I'm not familiar enough with canvas printing, so have no way of judging the print standards, but it looked pretty ok, from my inexperienced point of view.

And they do drop shipping too.  ;)

cheers.
