  • can anyone tell me how to print onto canvas frames?

    Hi everybody. 😀
    I’ve been asked to to some prints on canvas and to pin/staple them on a frame. Never done this before. Does anyone do this regularly and would be kind enough to share some expertise?
    Also what price should I charge for printing and mounting. The chap wants prices for:
    16” x 12”
    20” x 16”
    24” x 20”
    30” x 20”
    Thanks folks 😀

    I do these a fair amount – everything from 12" to 54" wide. Got it pretty much off-pat.

    I do charge a competitive rate as it’s hardly difficult…and once they have them in their hands and see the end results – you generally get more work!

    Look at a few other ‘photo’ places. Even ASDA do canvas prints these days (online) – it may give an an idea where to place yourself in the market.

    Steve,
    On your web page with the canvas pricing, what does the 38mm relate to?
