I need some large canvas prints for an up coming exhibition and am looking for a new supplier, mostly odd sizes as a lot are panoramas, sizes like 10 x 60, 18 x 60 and maybe larger, stretched and wrapped. Does anyone have any good print houses that do quality work, i've had too much hit and miss and most of the magazine guys only do standard sizes only.
thanks Capt Don
I ordered from PictureFrames.com. I had a non-standard size ... 43" x 24" panorama. I was impressed with the quality. I think AmericanFrame does non-standard sizes but the max dimension is 48".
For a very large print, you might be better off mouting a regular (paper) print on foam core instead of doing a canvas. AmericanFrame will print up to 90" on the longest dimension.
I highly recommend American frame for frames. I have not had good luck with them printing.
It's been a while, but their workflow assumes sRGB, although they don't (or didn't) specify on their website. They will disregard any imbedded profile.
Printing on watercolor paper was horrific as they have (or had) no soft proofing profiles available.
Not a lot of choices, but I've use Costco on line for these basic sizes. Price includes shipping to local stores. They also run specials at $10 off these prices.
If you want professional canvas prints at a reasonable price, check out www.canvasondemand.com And they always have a sale going of around 25% off. I use them for all of my prints.

I use either West Coast imaging or their sister shop Aspen Creek Photo(more for express prints). Rich and Terrace know their stuff and Dave from Aspen Creek is great to deal with.
Thanks Bryan, I hooked up with them this morning and they are exactly what i'm looking for. By the way really like your website and especially the "bean" in chicago, nice perspective on it. I was there last august and saw it and scratched it off of my bucket list. I also shot Marilyn in the center of town. Wife had meetings and I did chicago in a day on foot.
Hi,
Now-a-days canvas printing has become a trend, because of the artistic and modern look they add to a home. In fact, I have a couple of canvas prints of wildlife and my daughter printed in large dimensions. They are hung in my living room and my bedroom. I got them done by http://www.magnipic.com/. They did an awesome job and the quality of prints is exceptional.
I recommend you give them a try.
