They sure make 20cm seem massive on the website

20x20 is square, so why are all the pics rectangular?

Code not working? :disappointed:

Price for the wowcher deal is £16.74 delivered, not £14.99 (perhaps shipping was cheaper in the past)

Mine arrived yesterday. Wash out colour and poor quality.
The file was a high quality, high resolution image which I've had printed before with excellent results.

As the old adage goes.....you get what you pay for and in this case its crap!

ahaa, clarity is reading carefully! I failed to see your link to the larger canvas. My mistake.

Yeh, very limited with a point and shoot. However, I would expect a professionally converted raw file to print equally well exported as a level 11 jpg or a lossless tif. If the origination is the same, a tiny amount of compression wouldn't make a tangible difference in print (paper or printer type would have more of an impact). Still, as you said, if the option to use a tif is there why use anything else.

I was referring to the link I quoted for the A1 canvas, close up a 6mb would resemble a minecraft picture with jpg compression of my landscape shot. :smiley:

I doubt any of the professionals who I used to deal with as a printer engineer would ever consider using a jpg if they had a raw file and photoshop, fair enough with a point and shoot that only outputs a jpg.

It sounds like your original file contains too much data / resolution. 20cm x 20cm @ 300dpi is 2362x2362 pixels, so anything beyond this is unnecessary for this canvas. Any 6-8 megapixel camera would produce enough raw resolution to satisfy a high quality image at this size.

When ordering photo services online, it's always best practice to set up your images according to the product you're buying. The canvas is 20cm x 20cm, so it means you may need to crop your image if it's not already square.

Providing the image is in focus and colour corrected, saving it at 2362x2362 pixels as a jpeg with compression level 9-12 (approx 1 - 4 mb) would result in the same quality canvas print as a 16mb lossless tif (also at 2362x2362). Remember that the canvas will be textured so artifacting (if any at all) is likely to be hidden. There is no tangible benefit to submitting a tif at this size, if anything it would be a poorer alternative to a jpg as it would take longer to upload/download.|

For closure you could put it to the test. Create a new blank document at 2362x2362 pixels. Paste on to this your landscape and, once happy with the positioning, save 2 versions, one as a level 10 jpg and one as a lossless tif.

Frivolously place 2 orders using these two images and see if there is any difference once the canvases are delivered.

Great thanks

For the oldies 7.8" x 7.8" not exactly huge

Decent price, but be wary as last time I ordered here the canvas arrived blurry, customer services were excellent offering to send me another canvas with a different picture free of charge, unfortunately it arrived just as blurry.

thanks..ordered 2

ours looks lovely on our wall

I was about to order but that max filesize is pathetic at 6mb, the smallest I can get my landscape in png is 20mb. No idea why they wan't such compressed images for a large canvas.

Had more luck with this link

​wowcher, will see if I can find it again

not a bad deal, but I couldn't purchase it as theres a problem with the picture, the ? block that the mushroom came from hasn't turned brown (like those blocks do once mario has punched them) so would irritate me every time I looked at it.

Hot!

Can you only order one or will it stack? Use multiple times?

Does it include the frame the canvas is wrapped around in the pics above?

20cm is 7.8 inch so its a really small picture not worth £5 sorry

got an A1 personlised for 14.99 delivered. This seems small for the price

They sure make 20cm seem massive on the website

Teeny tiny...

Perfect timing for me too. Thank you. Also appreciate the extra links for video game site too

Just ordered! Sent it my mum as a surprise, she's wanted a specific pic printing of the grandkids
Thanks for sharing!

Any deals floating about on large canvas prints? (thanks)

20x20 is square, so why are all the pics rectangular?

thanks ordered

20x20 cm is freaking tiny

Used these people a few times, had a few issues... BUT their customer service is excellent! and every thing got resolved quickly and to my satisfaction.

Cheers ordered a personal pic on one. Not sure if a fiver delivered is good or not but it's a pic I wanted on printed so it was perfect timing. Thanks
