Photos printed to Canvas

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get photos printed onto Canvas (and stretched around a wooden frame) ?

Cheers,

Milly

This is not probably not what your looking for, but isn't there stuff that you can get in art shops that transfer a normal print onto canvas? It's like a kinda glue. You just apply it onto the canvas then put you print on top, leave it to dry and then you wash the paper away with soapy water, or something similar. As I've said, it's probably not what you're looking for but I do remember seeing someone do this on an TV art show.

if you're in Dublin, the Star art shops do this. There is one in Stephen's Green Shopping Centre and another in Sandymount and probably a few more around the place, although I'm not sure.
Online, http://www.photobox.iedo this. Although I've never ordered a canvas print off them, their service is generally excellent and quite cheap (90 euros plus postage for a 40cm square canvas print, vs. 150 in the Star shop)

If you have access to a darkroom you can get stuff called Liquid Light. You paint it on to whatever surface you want in the dark and then you print onto that instead of paper and process in the normal way from there. Only B+W though iirc.

I got a few photos put onto canvas in Prague, it makes the photos look savage, it really suits bright photos with simple lines and they are not very high res when they are on the canvas.

I get all my canvases printed by Geometric on Raglin road and stretched by A & L canvas suppliers off the Richmond road Dublin 3, both are fantastic, really nice people and at good prices. Between the two I can do 5fts X 3fts for under 100 euro all in which is really good. I work as a photographer and the industry standard outlet for any of this kind of work (canvas/duratrans etc..) seems to be McGowans on Cork street but personally I can't speak lowly enough of them ...in my humble opinion a nicer all round experience and end product is obtainable with Geometric and A&L. Hope this is of some help

The Harvey Norman shop in Blanchardstown does that print to canvas thing. No idea of the cost. I'm sure some of the other branches would do it too.
