Canvas Photo Prints

Hope I am in the right place for this :o First time I have found anything like a bargain :rolleyes:

I have just had a photo printed onto canvas as a birthday present for a young friend of mine.

I Googled for someone local but found Wall Create in Scarborough. They have the best prices for this service that I could find. My creation arrived yesterday and I am thrilled. The finish is brilliant and at £23 for A3 size was a fantastic price.

I have had some very agreeable email contact with the owner who was great to do business with.

Hope this is of help so someone.

    I second the timeman on ebay - much cheaper than the site quoted and fantastically fast delivery. Ordered 2.30 Fri, arrived Sat 08.30!

    I've ordered a few prints from the time man. I've always been so pleased with them. I gave them as presents and the recipients absolutely loved them. x

    Do the prints come with the image wrapped around the edge??? Is the quality good? I am looking at getting one of my baby, it is quite a close up image of her face, didnt want it to come out grainy. Can he alter imperfections in the photos?? After typing all this i guess i should have just emailed him!

    The photo is wrapped around the edge. It's really good quality. I had a photo that i wasn't sure would be any good and i he was really helpful. I emailed him the picture and he advised me. He's really helpful. He's very clever at what he does. You could always get in touch with him and ask him the questions that you want answered. Not sure about altering imperfections. I know he can change your photos from colour to sepia or black and white so it's worth asking. Hope this has been of some help. xxx

    It might be worth asking if the ink he uses is UV stable. If not the prints will start to fade.
