Yo Fidge! I'm pretty sure all those links will tell you to use Tim Scott, which is precisely what I was about to post.

Asda or Tim, decisions decisions

Just got a canvas from fluidimages, the quality/build/packaging/service/delivery is absolutely spot on!

Had a couple of unframed ones from him a few weeks back (think he might be at Bonneville right now...), and the price/quality/service mix makes him the obvious choice (i.e. you can get cheaper, and you can probably get better...but I really doubt both!).

Next weekend is not a problem. pm me if you are going to use us and I'll push your order through.

Just back from Bonneville.



Cheaper ? Possibly.

Better ? I very much doubt it !

I don't know what that car WAS, but I sure wouldn't argue with it now...


Have a good time?

October's issue of Digital Photo has done a comparison test of canvas print companies, including canvas4life, canvasRus, Jessops, PhotoArtistry, photobox and photo-canvas.com.

Their Gold Award went to PhotoArtistry www.photoartistry.co.uk and their Silver Award went to photo-canvas.com

They were looking at a stretch, frame mounted 16"x12" canvas print coming in at under £50.

Jessops got the highest rating for their ordering system. CanvasRus got highest rating for value for money. PhotoArtistry got top marks for image quality, finish and build and overall score, and photo-canvas.com got top marks for finish and build, service and also overall verdict.

Of all of them, the only one that really bombed in all categories was photobox.

HTH.

yep... photobox are stupidly priced, and fluid images are much better quality (IMO)

There's nothing to compare to you Tim, that's why you were not included

Now, what's the discount on my next order

Have just ordered with Tim; have been very impressed so far.
I sent him the image I wanted and asked if he could 'shop something in it for me (no PC at the moment! ) and he sent it straight back, amended exactly as I wanted it.
Will report back later!

We do this for a living if anyone needs any advice.

Not just onto canvas, but textiles, plastics, pvc, even metals... (all outdoor proof)

If anyone wants to donate some of their choice photos I would also do some for free, if you allow us to display them in our own factory.

Another huge thanks to Tim at Fluidimages and to the PH massive.

I fancied a photo of one of my dogs printed on canvas, I thought Pistonheads would be a good place to look for recommendations and for once the PH Search Engine worked perfectly and turned up Top Trumphs. Result... a fantastic quality print and one very happy chappy.
Cheers

Fluid Images...

Hang on, are you the guys who can do engine components (Limes/Lemons)?

It's some sort of patented method which allows the paint to rest on the surface of water, which you dip the product into?

Thought it was call hydra..... something

Errrrr.....no !

I'm a photographer and canvas printer.

Sounds interesting though.

Higher resolution and the possibilities of post-editing with Photoshop blur the borderlines between a snapshot and digital art. To reproduce a well achieved image, photo canvas printing is affordable and convenient. Here a test of two leading photo canvas printers:
