    I can thoroughly recommend Point101: http://www.point101.com/

    Very good quality and they're able to produce MASSIVE canvases, up to the 'King Size' 130 x 90 cm (51 x 35 inches) which is currently £109 including delivery. They'll also give you a specific quote if you want to produce a picture that doesn't adhere to the usual (A1, A0 etc) dimensions.

    I had a Christmas present for my wife made by them and was incredibly impressed by the friendliness and speed of service and by the quality of the printing (I work in graphic design, so that's pretty important!). Images printed at 1440 dpi.

    Does anyone know of a reasonable priced place that'll do a triptych for me from my own photo?

    How difficult and costly is it to frame it yourself? Or is it best to pay the extra £16/£17 and get it framed by them?

    I just did a search on ebay and found a couple of companies doing them framed from £20 for 20x30!!!
    I just need to figure out if the picture I want doing is good enough as it is off my old digi camera thats only 3m pixel????

    I am after a large canvas picture possibly with frame of some flowers or bright red poppies just to lighten a wall up. My ideal picture would be black & white background of a field with one large red poppy in the centre

    It would be a shame if you paid for canvas only and then mucked it up for the sake of £17. Timeman does a really nice finish plus very speedy delivery.

    Thanks Kevin, I wanted to ask about dpi as this will make a huge difference to the canvas image quality! Point101 actually tell you what they are printing on so I feel reasssured by that, but does anybody know what printer The-Time-Man uses so I can make a decision for an upcoming birthday present?

    I just ordered one from rainbowpix on Ebay they seem to be very helpfull with the silly questions I asked about resolutions and they sent me a proof showing what gets folded to the sides of the frame! + they seem the best value for a framed canvas as well at the moment? 20x30 £20.00!
