Does anybody have any experience with putting photo's on canvas. I know that there are firms that do this for you. What are the least expensive? Thanks!

Something to take into consideration! make sure you do not crop too tight as they need about 3 inch borders! I had one made and didn't leave enough headroom on the photo which resulted in the persons head being VERY NEAR the top of the photo. Just saying!

I have done 4 canvas prints with Canvas on Demand -- AWESOME quality! I purchased Groupons -- $45 for 16x20 including shipping (a $126 value!). Check it out (these are offered on Groupon regularly!).

Look at WalMart. Price is definately right and I have had
excellent results. Upload in the morning, pick up in the
afternoon or ship for $.93.

I've used Art.com several times with great results. I didn't know Walmart did them too. I need to compare prices.

Are you going to print them yourself? If you want to print 8x10s, you can get inkjet printer canvas from Frederic's. You need a good inkjet printer. It is a bit tricky with the canvas feed into the printer. You need to tape a strip of card stock to the lead edge so it will grab. If you have a large format printer you can go as large as 11x17

Absolutely! Do it yourself.

I don't want to waste money on mistakes and I am not confident enough at this point to do it myself. I have also been told that the printers for doing it are very expensive. It may therefore be more cost effective to send it out. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will follow up on them.

I can understand your hesitation. FYI, I use an HP7280 All-in-One color printer. Not expensive. The canvas is about $22 for 10 sheets when you only buy one pack. You would need to do a UV treatment also. All in all, the cost to print is about $2.50/ea (not factoring in "printer malfunction", though that will happen, even with photo paper)
