Would anyone recommend a good UK canvas printing company ? I want to get some 3d and photography imagery printed out.
Also interested in the canvas contact, printed at the right price I could have alot of work for you 
Same, been looking at a few but not been able to see any good samples/get reccomendations.
Got a photo from sydney i want printing.
I found this one: http://www.canvasdezign.co.uk/
They have testimonials…not sure how legit they are…but it seems pretty good. I know there was a site featured in a computer arts mag..i will try and pluck the link out. They also printed books for a good price. My friend had a book printed from them and was very pleased with the quality.
Only company I’ve ever used is photobox. Quite expensive though.
there is another “artistic” solution.
Print your image in reverse on a sheet. Place the sheet face down on the canvas (image facing the canvas), fill a sponge with acetone (not too much though) and rub the back of the sheet. The acetone forces the ink off of the print and onto the canvas (or watercolor board or whatever). Now you have a base to work with that you can apply paint, pencil, pastels, etc to. It becomes a one of a kind are piece. Results vary depending on your talent. I’ve done it with architectural projects and had gallery hanging results. And if you don’t like the results, start over again and try something else with the base tranfered image.

I used this one last year and several friends have used them:
you get to see your image on the canvas online before buying and delivery is only 2-3 days. I was really pleased with the quality too.
Mikeh - that sounds great. Do you have any photos of your work?
Hi Steve,
I am looking at getting some professional photo’s (of my daughter) printed on to canvas and remembered your thread. Did you ever get anything printed yourself, or decide who was best to go with? The 3 suggested companies at a glance seem to offer a similar service and price.
Cheers
I had another print done recently by http://www.yourimage2canvas.co.uk/ and it was excellent again. They dispatch same day usually so you often get your canvas next day. If you don’t see the size canvas you want then you can call them. I did this as I wanted a much longer canvas than they were showing online. They did a mock up for me and emailed it over to show how it would look and then printed it that afternoon. Hope this helps.
I ended up using http://www.printitoncanvas.co.uk/
I cant compare them to anyone else as I have only ever had 2 canvases printed and both times it was with them, but came back looking great.
They are very friendly staff and turnaround is very quick. My last canvas was a photo of the ice lagoon in southeast Iceland..it was 60 inches long
Also, if you use voucher code: p4vx19 when you order, you get 20% off.
…Mine was 68" long Who said size doesn’t matter!!!
I lied though..i wasnt talking about my canvas…
thanks guys, will go with one of those 2 i reckon. couldnt quite believe the photographer’s price for suppling printed canvas… 30x40" = £1200!!! So i bought the digi file for £100 with a view to printing myself.
Thats a rediculous cost…I wonder why it is that pricey ? Do they claim to print onto some special kind of long life canvas or something ?
They didnt go into detail of printing specifics, but I presume it is top quality long lasting print/canvas. However if I get it printed for under £100 myself and it only lasts 5/10 years before fading, I could get it reprinted 12 times for the same cost!
We’ve done the same chris
I think their cost is more down to greed rather than quality myself (in our case anyway)
The link above seems to be very reasonably priced, I may get a few done myself
