My wife uses www.bonusprint.co.uk a lot for her line of work. Decent prices, and good customer service - if you're not happy with the printing they do it again free.

I do canvas printing matey!! Pm me the sizes and i'll give you a price! If you do go elsewhere check that the prices they give you include it being mounted onto a frame! Some of my customers have said that sometimes they get sent the canvas print roled up!!!!

Done a canvas print of the truck photoshopped onto a different bakcground!

Thanks for all your replies, I now need to find a high res copy of the pic I need.

How much was that Smit ? I have a painting my dad did for me as a kid in my room and I'd rather not paint over it so a picture that size would be ideal as its just the sort of thing I was looking for.

Just make very sure that the res you get can be blown up as big as you want. The beauty of a canvas, is that you can get some image degradation and not really notice it as the texture of the canvas masks it. But push it too far and it'll look wanky.
