Questions regarding canvas printing

Postby drsnoopy2 on Mon Oct 22, 2007 3:16 pm

Any recommendations regarding good places to get photos printed onto canvas in Perth ? (I realise my location states that I am in Adelaide, but I am only here temporarily till January) A lot of the film processing outlets nowadays in the shopping centres are offering the service, but I wonder what the quality is like compared to specialist centres ? We took some awesome shots of the kids yesterday, and are really inspired to put them up onto canvas.

Also, any tips with regards to photos for printing in canvasses ? ie. colour / background / etc ? The photos we shot were indoors, and we have a few that we like, but they are not razor sharp, but hopefully that won't be too obvious when put onto canvasses.

Thanks

That link goes to a post in the "Members' Discounts" section which you don't yet have access to.

I haven't done a canvas print yet, certainly not in Perth... :) Sorry.

G'day

A guy in the same camera club as me does printing. http://www.katamanti.com.au/ It is more a retirement income for him rather than him running a full blown professional printers but the quality, service and prices are the best I've ever experienced. The largest canvas he's done for me was 1200mm * 800mm but nobody can fault it.

I just had a 30"x10" print done by genius printing.

They do custom sizes which doesn't seem too common, and I was very happy with the price and result.

They're in Melbourne, but ship Australia wide for reasonable rates.
