Hi Everyone, I am looking for a place in the GTA to get good quality canvas prints from digital. Cost is somewhat a factor. Any advice?

Thanks for the info - I have sent to the Edward site re shipping costs. They seem at least 25% less than Pikto or TIW - great.

Hi Katherine,
I used Canvas Canada for a large canvas print, 16"x14" and am very happy with the results. The total came out to just under $100 for taxes and shipping which included having it stretched and mounted in a black floating frame.

I've been looking around for something more GTA oriented that does the same job but everything is much more expensive than CC. The only issue I had was that it took just over 2 weeks to get the canvas shipped which kind of sucked. There prices on smaller specialty printing seem great as well so I'll probably use them and try to batch up a large number of prints to have shipped at once, which takes some coordination.

Here's their price list and their site does a great job explaining how to setup the print for canvas printing.

Thanks so much! I can stretch my own canvas and the prices for rolled is just great. I will definitely give them a try.

wholesale is around $160 US for 20x30

Canvas On Demand is great also..
price is cheaper for item, it's a little more for shipping but for that one shipping price you can get 50 canvasses shipped :)

<a href="http://tricera.com/index.php">Tricera.com</a> in Toronto does print on paper and canvas using Epson printers. They don't do stretching and mounting, though. I buy all my Epson supplies from them, cheaper than anywhere else.

Thanks, Kathy. I'm doing well in the sense that I have more time to take photos and photo-related stuff. Great to see another loyal (read old-timer but I don't like the word :D) TPMG'er on the board. Good luck with your search.
