Looking for recommendations on labs that print to canvas and will do gallery wraps within the GTA.

Quality is of the utmost importance.

Thanks.

Only within the GTA huh, no idea. I've used Canvas Canada out on the east coast and with their rush shipment you should get it back quickly but if you're really really in a hurry I guess they wouldn't work. I've been very happy with the quality out of them as well.

I'd be interested in what's available in the city as well.

Oddly enough, I came on here precisely to post this question. When you guys get your prints can you leave a comment on the quality of the print? It would be much appreciated.

There is a place on Queen street called Creative on Queen --- they have done some canvas for me, and the result was pretty good. I am steering away from canvas for future works. I want to try printing on metal.

I am very interested about printing on metal. Let me know how it turns out and who you decided to go with to get it done.

Have tried large canvas prints from both Queen Street Qreative (QSQ) and 44wide.com (in the East Liberty St. area) and to be honest, they're both pretty good. 44wide uses better quality frames and their QA in general is top-rate but QSQ does top-notch work too, the difference in prints was minimal. Best really to talk to both and see what you think of the people.

Thanks for posting this - very interesting.
Any issues that one needs to attend to when printing on metal...i.e. the print fades quicker, the print is so heavy the wall collapses :shock:
