Photo Canvas Prints

I recently decided to print a photograph onto canvas to see how it would look. I looked at a few magazines and Photo-Canvas received the Digital Photo Magazine Gold Award so I decided that was a good place to start.

A 16"x12" photo cost me approximately 72 Euro and it was excellent quality and the customer service was superb. I promptly recommended them to a few Friends and I was pointed to a discussion on Boards.ie about the same topic. The main company under discussion was updone.com based in the US but prints seems to come from China. You can read the discussion your self but the end result is that while they aren't quite the same quality as Photo-Canvas you end up with a fully mounted gallery wrapped photo canvas for less than 30USD including shipping!

Some points to note. You can get stuck with import duty or VAT though these seem to only be about 20 USD and then only if your order is over 30 Euro. You can also save on the price by not having the canvas mounted. In a price comparison it's actually cheaper to get an A2 canvas without mounting than to get an A2 print from most Irish shops.

I'll post a more detailed review later but I thought this would get things going.

Enjoy!
