Canvas Prints - www.point101.com

This is a shameless plug for a UK company that produces beautiful canvas prints at very reasonable prices: http://www.point101.com. The website is excellent: it tells you if the uploaded image is the right quality for printing or not and it also shows you what the print will look like in a typical room. Delivery is by courier and you need have no worries about the fragile print in transit - the packaging is top class. I've had three prints done to date and they look great hanging on the wall. Canvas prints do not need framing: you can just hang them as is.

For prints that I do get framed I use Be Framed in Douglas, Cork: http://www.beframed.ie/. They are excellent photo-framers, the turnaround is usually a couple of days and their prices are also very reasonable.

I use a cheap Canon iP2600 if I need a quick 7x5 print or two but generally I use Photobox http://www.photobox.co.uk/. Harvey Normans self-service booths are fine for run-of-the-mill enprints but their quality is not a patch on Photobox. Stephen Crozier in Dun Laoghaire also provides an excellent hand-printing service ideal for extra large prints: http://www.360-dpi.com/ 

And photographers: you do print your photos on a regular basis, don't you?
