Yes, and its also much lighter denier canvas than is typically used for photo printing as the photo canvas has to have a seperate layer of coating to accept the printers ink.

I just tried some of Red River's canvas from a sample pack.
I love everything except the price. (well I am addicted to 13x19 prints, maybe if I were to settle for 8x10 or 8.5x11?)

Maybe have them take a look at their own website. Those corners IMHO are not acceptable, PERIOD!
Check out the images of the canvas wraps.

I have had several people exhibit canvas prints and yes that seems to be the standard (The photography tends to be of similar standard as the canvas too) It may be that your canvas reflects its price...(Not your photography)
In the UK framing services vary...from less than £10 to over £40. for the same size!
Canvas wraps probably vary also - hand made or machine finished.
Consider how much you paid....

Well I paid $98 US plus shipping for a 16x20 canvas. I was hoping to use it as a studio sample, but I will have to find another supplier as this is not the quality I was hoping for. I thought using a lab that only specializes in print products would be able to get a canvas right. I am getting it reprinted at a place here in Calgary called Resolve, I am sure I will have better luck!! - the cost is twice as much for the canvas... we'll see! :)

Bay Photo. Aspen Photo. Try again somewhere else. It's always a bit of an experiment when ordering from any company.

I feel the picture is a very good picture where people will be looking at the baby not the corners. That’s my opinion!

Rob having a bad day, chill he was simply asking a question not whether the hogs could or would fix it. And perhaps you do but most people I don't think do the same thing nor believe necessarily in the same thing that they learned or did 45 years ago. Not all rules are hard and fast and stay consistent for eternity , trends have a tendency to change occasionally maybe every decade or so, yearly etc. And who knows maybe he doesn't consider himself everybody or average like he should be according to the likes of you.

So less than well done is ok? I don't think so. Yes many will have in a frame that will cover up the poorly tucked corners. But a lot of minimalist folks display the canvas without the frame.

I save 3 prints done by Easy Canvas Prints and the corners are far superior to those in your images - nice and flat, no elevated appearance even on close inspection. Also, i am very pleased with the overall quality of their work but look for specials on price.

Send it back. I have if it's not stretched tight enough. Most people will Not frame a canvas wrap, BTW.

Thanks Guys for your input.... I have spoken to the company BUT apparently this is within their normal practices, I even sent pictures of it. I must say that if I am to be confident selling a product to a client, that I have to be confident in the product. I can accept that it's ok, that perhaps people will be looking at the baby and not the canvas. I appreciate all your input, and I also feel (NOT KNOW as I am not an expert-so "feel" is my wording) that this is a terribly finished canvas that I will not be able to offer to clients. Pricing is a factor yes, $98 US is what I paid not super duper cheap and not expensive either. I will have to look elsewhere as I know in my gut this isn't a canvas that I can confidently sell to a client.
Again Thanks to all UHH <3

This is a photo of one of my wife’s paintings (sold) that I had printed on canvas by Easy Canvas Prints. The edges are doubled over, of course, but are very tight so the extra thickness is barely visible. Please forgive the iPad photo.

Tell them:
'This print does not meet my quality standards to re-sell to my customer, regardless of meeting your quality standards. I want it remade to meet my quality standards or a refund so I can take my work to a printer that does meet my quality standards.'
Good luck
