Most places that sell digital cameras now have instore printing, as do many chemists.
Any of the major malls will have several shops doing it. They all use kiosks that are very easy to use.

Frogprints and snapfish, havent tried either yet but they seem ok

[nathanbarlow]

frogprints seem to have the better prices, at least for 6x10 inch prints ( my fav size for prints - not too small, not too big).

NB snapfish only measures in cm, frongprints in inches.

Even though im only 21, i prefer inches for photography, both for size and dpi - guess its because of old school film proportions?

Anyone used CUSTOM CANVAS?

lol, I'm a fan of Harvey Norman, haha.. Always get beautiful prints from them. If you've got $$ though, Labtec (now PCL) are always yummy.

Seem to be quite cheap...Got a print on the way from them. 15% extra on their prices if you want proper 260gsm cotton canvas instead of 100gsm synthetic. That being said for this print I've gone with the synthetic as it's an image that doesn't have much subtle toning to worry about.

Have also had two prints from Canvart (http://www.canvart.co.nz), excellent service, good price, even if the canvas wasn't quite as taut as I'd expected from canvases I've been painting on. Still, very happy with 'em, and it's nice heavyweight canvas (430gsm). Although it isn't a pure cotton canvas (70% cotton, 30% polyester) this hasn't affected the quality, even with a subtly detailed black & white image.

Cool, could you post up a pic of the canvas when it arrives...

Just out of intetrest, what size did you get?

Just out of intetrest, what size did you get?If I remember ;) Got the 12"x18" $75 one and it has been pre-sold for $230 (based on the "think of a number and try it on" formula of pricing, with allowance for that it's being sold to a mate)

Sorry, I didn't have my camera when it arrived and it's already gone to it's new home.

It was only OK - very lightweight canvas, almost a semi-gloss surface rather than matte, could easily see the image from the reverse of the canvas and fairly average separation of greys. Could have got better separation if the extra was paid for getting proper cotton canvas, but my mate is absolutely stoked, so I'm happy (and I didn't tell him my thoughts on the result... :)). I blame the material being printed to rather than the ink or the service, and next time would insist on cotton if through customcanvas.
