BatchFile Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Here's one out of left field - Do any of you know anywhere good (cheap) for getting digital photographs printed on eg. 2ft by 2ft canvas? I've been asked by our SLT to put some student photographs on the dining room wall like that:rolleyes: (just waiting for Simon from CPLTD to come along and say "we'll do em for a fiver fella":p;)) 1
plexer Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Practical photography november edition has a voucher for half price canvas print at Jessops not sure what size but the offer is for a print worth £35 - £40 Ben 1
maniac Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 FOTO.com United Kingdom : Photo on canvas Do a 2ft square canvas print for £53, which is pretty reasonable. There are lots of other places, but if you look at the prices they're all roughly the same. I've used Foto.com for 12x8 prints before, and was impressed with the quality and speed of delivery, not tried the canvas prints thou. Mike. 1
Domino Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I've used photobox before, and they come out really nice Photo Canvas Prints | Photo onto Canvas | Canvas Printing - PhotoBox

MattCowen Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 ASDA has an offer on at the minute, can't quite remember the cost though as I was braindead by the time I'd been dragged round for 2 hours by the mrs
p858snake Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Are they sure they want canvas.... they would get dirty easy. I would recommend to them to get them printed on a proper photo paper and then framed (and if glass in the frame is a issue get it replaced with Perspex/Plastic) which will also make it easy to clean. Edited October 5, 2009 by p858snake
crc-ict Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Our reprographics department can do that. ...that wasn't really helpful was it?
MattCowen Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 And as if by magic... Just recieved an email from ALDI offering half price prints ALDI Photo Service

TechSupp Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I looked at these when I was interested in have a photo blown up to poster size. Seemed reasonable prices. Canvas prints from your digital photos and images. MyBigCanvas.co.uk Never used them yet though.

kitsch Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) they're going to be 9ft up in the air. Ooh.... Health and Safety... I hope whoever is hanging them has done a risk assessment. High vis vests... orange cones with flashing lights... safety training... visors... hard hats... sealed-off exclusion zone... Edited October 6, 2009 by kitsch
mac_shinobi Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Ooh.... Health and Safety... I hope whoever is hanging them has done a risk assessment. High vis vests... orange cones with flashing lights... safety training... visors... hard hats... a bungee cord in case you slip off the ladder or said equipment to get you up to that height.
kitsch Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 a bungee cord in case you slip off the ladder or said equipment to get you up to that height. Oh, goodness.... don't... the risks just don't bear thinking about.
R0M Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Im pretty sure if you sign up to deviant art and upload you photo there, you can make it available for purchase and buy a canvas print from yourself. I've haven't done this yet but I'm thinking of trying because they handle all the printing and shipping and they will print onto almost anything (cups, shirts, mouse pads, etc..)
