You can also try Canvas on Demand Pro, this company has a great service, and I know many that use it.

I use Canvas on demand pro and they have always done a great job. If they see a problem they will let you know before they print so you can correct the problem before they print.

I want to sell some of my best wildlife photos on very nice canvas prints.

I have tried several and so far the best I have found is Costco's.

Here's what I would like to be able to do and hopefully some of you can help me make the right decision.

I would like to be able to place an order and have the work done and shipped directly to the purchaser. But I want to know that the buyer will be getting a great print that is stretched on a good frame and wrapped round the frame with the true edges of the photo and not some lined-colored gobbly-gooked look.

Who do you guys use and who do you recommend. I do not want it shipped with a put together frame, I want it so when it arrives all they have to do is hang it up.

Thanks to all of you for any help. Buglinbilly

I have used Costco's canvas print and have ordered just the plain stretch over the frame and then having it actually framed. They use a very simple black frame. Check it out.

This bugs me, you have a customer that put up big money for a canvas print, and you want the UPS man to take to them. WHERES THAT PERSONAL TOUCH. Your service is what makes you money.

check out/google: Stillframes Columbus Indiana......this is a smaller, local shop with exceptional individualized service.Robert Anderson, a renowned nature photographer is the owner and oversees each project. you can call him directly and work out all of the details. even though this is a small shop, the pricing is the best that i can find. the 1.5" wrap with a nature image is awsome. if you have a need for high quality greeting cards, they are the best. they have printed thousands of 5x7 giclees' on watercolor paper for me in the last few years.

one thought....provide your ARTIST STATMENT and contact info to the printer so that it can be place on the back of the print....you can write the title and your signature on the statement. this means alot to your customer/collector.

My experience with Costco has been great. Their canvas prints are very good quality. You can have them framed. You can go to the store to check out samples. And when you get towards checkout you can specify having the item shipped to an address other than yours (or picking it up at the store). The only downside I see is not previewing before it is shipped. I ordered a canvas print for myself, and didn't notice a couple "flaws" in the image until it was already on canvas. Usually I order a print the size the canvas will be, unless you are going really big. Then I can see what I might miss on my monitor. :)

A fellow HedgeHogger has suggested that a new Frequently Asked Question & Answer be added, listing Print on Canvas sources.

We would like to use recommendations suggested on this thread as a core source. Please list printing lab website addresses with your recommendations, along with the lab's city or geographic location.

Within a few days, we hope to add a new FAQ: Labs Recommended for Prints on Canvas.

(Meaning when you are ordering on line and get to the checkout part of the process. Did not make that very clear.)

Simply Canvas has done some excellent work for me and they also drop ship to clients.

I must tell you that I am never completely comfortable having something like an expensive stretched canvas piece drop ship to a client without me seeing it first.

Thank you!!!
This is info I have been looking for!
I just called and talked to Bob Anderson and he may work with me on this. I have been painting my greeting cards for years, then printing, cutting, folding, boxing and shipping all by myself for years and I work 20 hours a day from Nov1 to Dec 23. By the time I am through getting card orders out to people in all 50 states and 5 other countries, I am a basket case. This would free up a LOT of my time and I might even have time for family and a Christmas of my own! From the way he talked, we may be able to get together on this! WOW!!!!
