Does anyone know a cheap but reliable camvas printer in the UK? I want to upload the pics as jpegs (around 500k each) and have them printed on canvas around 60cm by 80cm.. Just rolled up prints will do, I'll mount them myself. I've been to a few sites but they seem to add charges just before you pay. One site wanted £15 p&p!! I want to know how much it will be in total before I upload anything to them.
Any ideas?
Cheers in advance,
Peter

I use Enigma Print http://www.enigmaprint.co.uk (based in Merseyside) fast and don't rip you off. The web site is a bit annoying as only accepts one image at a time but they don't knock a load of extras on at the payment bit and they don't take the piss on postage. If I need a few doing in a hurry, I phone them. they knock a bit off the price if you're doing a few. The bloke who runs it is a bit of a character - he reckons he's worked with David Bailey and Lord Litchfield! But the print quality is superb.

Please do not use Enigma print/ enigma signs. www.enigmaprint.co.uk

I have just recieved a canvas from them and it is the worst I have ever seen. The print quality is terrible, really dull and there is a big red blob of paint in the middle of it! I waited over three weeks for this and had to keep ringing to ask where the order was, each time I was lied to and any emails I sent have been ignored. I thought I would never receive it and now I have I wished I hadn't bothered!

500K seems a little small for a Jpeg printed that size but you might be able to get away with it if the canvas has enough texture. I would recommend FinerWorks. They are not in the U.S. but they do ship to the UK.
