Only problem with these folks, at least for many of us, is that they’re in England. Shipping would be prohibitively expensive in relation to the cost of the canvas. There are plenty of canvas printers here in the US that can provide excellent quality and service. One such is Picture It On Canvas, in Poway, CA. I’ve been working with them for years, and they do very nice work. They also run sales with discounts of up to 75% off on a pretty frequent basis, which makes their prices very affordable. In fact, I just ordered a 16×24 canvas print on 1.5″ stretcher bars from them, and it cost me just over $40, including a Tyvek backing, pre-installed hanging hardware, and shipping!
