Can anyone help, there is a photography magazine just been out and they run an article about printing on canvas

They rated one as the best around - if I remeber rightly it was a 16x10 image for 39 quid delivered

I cant find my magazine anywhere, Im starting to think my dog has eaten it :help:

Can someone let me know the name of the website that got top score, thanks

:bang: :thankyou:
 
I know the mag you mean and the company - just dont have the data at work! For info, i received a 20x12 inch print from them yesterday and the quality was superb. The cost of that and postage was about £48

If no-one can help out in the interim, i'll look it up when i get home
 
max speilman do them for quite cheap.

sorry can't offer any more help than that.
 
www.photo-canvas.com are worth a look, dye sub prints than can be cleaned with soapy water and pine frames that can be re-stretched when the canvas relaxes over time. Prices are pretty good too...

And that is the very Company that was reviewed as being best in the mag - well done pxl8
 
Gold award is great, but at twice the price of where I source mine I think I'll stick thanks

What is god though is that customers see prices like these and can't believe I can offer them for about the same price including doing the shoot; nice for me then is that rather than one they often buy 2 or more
 
are all these ones those ones where the priint goes round the edge of the canvas? I hate those with a passion!! :D

I had a big one done at colab as the client wanted to mount it in a frame like 2 she had done a few years ago.

They are stretched round an open wooden frame and looks like an oil painting. Colab were great. :thumbs:
 
I used photobox for a couple of mine and the result was really good. I've ordered a couple of 30cm x 30cm prints from http://www.mycanvasprints.co.uk/ after a recommendation from here, so we'll see how that goes.

They were £25 each delivered.

Aren't you worried that in a year or two your clients might be bad mouthing you because the canvas you supplied has started to flake and go saggy?
 
Nope, they all get the option of a higher quality and re-tensionable canvas for 3x the price - produced very locally to me, but no-one has taken it so far

They tell me something like... it's art, in 2 or 3 years time it'll not fit in with the furniture or decoration or they'll be bored with it. At £400 a time they are stuck with it cos that's a lot of money to throw out, but at £130 it's a consumable that'll be replaced more often

Most of my shots they buy are of their kids or pets, so they replace them as they grow up - gives repeat business that way and frankly, most of my clients locally aren't that flush so I doubt they'd buy a £300+ one in the first place
 
£130 for a cheap coated canvas? What size is that? Sounds like a hefty markup you've got there...
 
I have some inkjet printable canvas. An Epson 1400 photo printer. What media setting would you choose for printing? I had it set to Archival Matte thinking it might be a good choice but it took 10 attempts before my printer would accept the canvas! I have been advised to set for thicker paper but that choice is not an option:'( When eventually it did print it was excellent BUT that was only a free sample.. I have 3 A3 sheets which I have bought in anticipation and do not want to start spoiling them!:shake:

Any light shed on this matter would be most appreciated:lol:
 
But why the larger profit margin (333% instead of 232%) on the quality item?
