Loc: St. Louis burbs, but originally Chicago burbs
I've never had a canvas print made, but for my only metal print, Bay Photo took 3 tries to make it (Blue Angels - Oshkosh '17) without any bumps showing through from the mounting bracket installation...the second being further damaged from being dropped by FedEx which obviously wasn't Bay's fault. I was pleasantly surprised however to have received the final version - which looks great on my wall - delivered next day air. I had expected it sometime the following week. Perhaps my experience was, to rip a partial line from a movie, 'strange and unusual'. Would B/W look good on canvas? There's a pic I'd consider doing of a waterfall. So far, out of the thousands of pics on my hard drive and dozens self-printed, I've only had 3 of them framed by a local shop. Maybe I'm too critical of my own work...some co-workers think I could sell some of them.
...I do my own, but certainly would recommend Bay Photo.
I have found Costco do a good job, and with delivery to my local store for pickup they are pretty quick.

I’ve done 3 prints with Easy Canvas and like their work - they always have specials. I like their thicker frames.
I just had 5 canvas done of previous Christmas cards I've designed and used Discount Canvas.com. Figured they were only to be used during the holiday season if they weren't all that good. Very cheap prices on sales, shipped immediately, and I found them to be excellent colors, wrapped edges, and no color bleeding. Although they were so cheap, they look very good quality to me. Excellent prices and shipping. I think Discount Canvas and Best Canvas may be the same company.
I use a company called Easy Canvas Prints
great sales, easy website to use, fast service

Groupon has several deep discount offers for canvas prints from various companies -- usually much better than going to the companies' websites. I have used several with good results -- like I have a dozen or so canvas prints on my walls, ranging from 30x20 to 16x24.

I've use "inpixito" on many occasions for canvas and all were perfect. I use Bay Photo for metal prints and they are beautiful.
i used adorama printing service
Julian, I have a Cannon Pro-100 and also tried canvas printing at home. Didn't get the sharpness or brightness I was looking for. Any suggestions?
