Which online store to use for canvas printing?

I've been quite taken by some photography I've seen (and purchased) this
weekend, printed on canvas. I was even able to compare the same photo
on paper vs canvas. The canvas prints are very impressive - vivid and
interesting.

The photographer I spoke to does all his own work, so no help there

I'd like to try this for one or two of my own digital photos. I see
there are a number of online stores that will do this printing, would be
interested in your experiences - who's good, and who I should avoid.
Should I use one of the specialty companies, or can I use someone like
shutterfly?

Any advice is appreciated!

Doesn't look like they do canvas prints - if you know otherwise do you
have a url?

Thanks. Doesn't look like there's a US equivalent product page, sadly.

Cool. Been looking for a canvas print site. Thanks.

Interesting. Aussie-based print site, but you're in Tennessee or
something? Your international knowledge of printing places is
pretty good. Perhaps you read the recommendation from D-Mac,
with whom you seem to share many similar views:

I sympathise with any Professional Photographer who gets done over buy
you self centred aussies.

If you really must know, I mistook the OP's location. It seems the
interpretation software I run on Inet's ID code needs a little refining
unless the OP is using the Tor network or a proxy to obfuscate his ID
and I picked up an aussie proxy address.

Are you related to Mark Thomas? You both seem to have a the same
attitude problem.

Interesting spelling of "sympathise" for a non-Commonwealth
English speaker. To be fair, I'm assuming here.

...with any Professional Photographer who gets done over buy

What makes you think I'm self-centred? And why would I "do over"
a professional photographer? What does that even mean?

He doesn't need a Tor network. There is no location information
or posting IP address in his headers AFAICT. Did I miss
something?

Although if I were to have a stab in the dark about his location,
and being the trusting kind of guy that I am, I'd look at the
email address, de-obfuscate (is that even a word?) it and figure
he's in the US, based on the TLD part of the address. No need
for fancy "interpretation software".

Are you related to Mark Thomas?

No.

You both seem to have a the same attitude problem.

Thanks, but I don't think it's a problem. He's a pretty astute
guy.

To "do over" someone is to cheat them in some way.

Thanks, Troy. Too kind.

Actually, I confess I find this 'Jurgen' stuff hilarious. At least he
now knows how to spell his name - he started out as 'Juegen'.

That was just a *side-splittingly* elaborate explanation:

??? Yeah, that *would be* what happened....

Can't wait for the next faux pas.
