Question Photos on canvas

Hi there,

I have recently stumbled across a good opportunity to sell canvas prints of a few of my photos to a London restaurant chain.

Thing is, having not sold canvas prints before, I would like to know where you think would be the best place to get a good quality photo-on-canvas for a good price and how much you would sell your work for?

I would be looking at producing something reasonably large, around 30" Square.

Any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks

There was a feature on canvas prints in the last issue of the photoplus mag (October issue)
Can't help any more than that sorry.

You could always try Loxley colours, as they came out best a few years ago in a DCM review. Not cheap but they will give the best service and even adjust the output to produce the best prints.

Thanks for your suggestions, will look up the article.

Loxley seem a little expensive. Doubt I would make that much of a profit at those prices, if any at all. Nice for hanging in the living room though!

Thanks.

The prices look good and from what they've written, they seem good quality. Will probably give them a go.

Cheers.

How daft is it that you have to have an account on loxley to view their price list?!
