For anyone who is reading these messages and if you have not tried wrapped canvas, give it a try. It is amazing how beautiful the wrapped effect is, with the image continuing on the sides. And for size? I'm fortunate to have a canvas printer close to me. So, when returning from Rome, and Florence, I've had a 6' by 4' wrapped canvas made of each city. They even delivered it, using their van. Even on a somewhat smaller scale, when we were fortunate to go to Egypt, I took an image of the major pyramid in the background, and the sphinx in the foreground. That one is a 3' by 2', and my first experience with wrapped canvas. It is the only way I now make "prints".

I don’t think I have ever seen an unwrapped one.

Look up Canvas Discount. The quality is great and response time is great. I will be set to do several and get the bargains with no shipping. Get them in a week or less and well packed.


I have used Canvas Discount on a few occasions and have been quite pleased with the results, and very pleased with the prices! I had one issue where the print quality was not acceptable - they requested I take a photo of the canvas after I destroyed it and email the photo to them. I did so and received a full refund within 2 days. Interesting return policy...

I have decided to do some of my prints on canvas. So many companies out there. Any recommendations? Please no Costco. Not a member and quite a drive away. Also I am getting bombarded with emails with very cheap prints and outrageous postage. Please advise. Thanks for your help.


MPIX, Bay Photo. I’ve had great results doing canvas prints with both of these online companies.

I use Bay Photo for my canvas 11 X 14 prints. They are expensive but are always running specials. Bay Photos quality is very good.

Has anyone ever used WhiteHall for canvas prints?

Okay, I'm going to "upset the apple cart" here. Old pun? I am not a major fan of Samsclub. But when I received a promo for 12x12 for very low price (sorry, I forgot it), I tried them and was amazed. I had to wait several weeks for another sale of 12x12, with 1inch frame. I had 20 images from our Missouri Botanical Garden, so I sent all of them for 12x12x1" frames. The results were ... amazing. They are now occupying a wall on the stair case. This was an unexpected great set of prints. Yes, Sams CLub.

Artsy Couture in Maryland. Fabulous work on Canvases and gallery blocks, I highly recommend, my go to lab for that kind of work...I just used them for some prints, and a very nice job on those too. You will not be disappointed!

Forget the companies. If you want 8.5 X 11 or smaller, any good HP or Epson will make good quality canvas prints. I am assuming you will have at least one of these, or a similar brand. If you want larger, and have either a 13" or 17" printer, same thing applies. If you don't, find someone local who does. Pay for the stock and something to cover ink/depreciation, and most photographers will print for you. If you are asking for really large, this gets a bit harder. I make prints for people for shots with no more than a 24" short dimension on an Epson P6000. But I suspect finding one in your local will be difficult. Good luck.
