Easy Canvas Prints

So recently I was approached by a nice guy over at Easy canvas prints. He wanted to see if I would like to order a canvas for free and then tell you guys about it. I normally just ignore these people but being a photographer I though, why the heck not.

I have canvases hanging all over my house. They are one of my favorite ways of displaying photographs. Now I have never ordered a canvas from anyone other than one of my professional labs, so I didn't know what to expect.

I went over the their site to see how easy it would be. And it was actually really easy to order. The only problem I had during the ordering was that it made me pick an image that was already oriented in landscape and the image I put together was in portrait form. They didn't have a button that I could find that made it easy to flip my image to the side.  So I had to go back into photoshop and flip it around to make it work. A little annoying but not bad. (As you'll see below I made a collage of several images for this print. I do not believe they offer an option to do this. I did it in photoshop.)

There were lots of options on what you wanted to do with the sides of your canvas. You could have your image stretch or mirror or you could put color. I tried to change the color on the side but for some reason it kept freezing up on me. That may have something to do with me using a mac and safari as my browser.

Overall it took me about 5 minutes to order. I was pretty impressed with how fast and easy it was. So now to wait and see what the quality was like. Now remember I am used to some of the highest quality canvases. Knowing that this was just a site for regular joes my expectations were not high.

About 5 days after I ordered I received the canvas. It isn't too bad. The quality isn't fabulous but its not bad either. There is a little bit of color bleed around right edge of my image. The back of the canvas is not finished but has a hanger on there so it is ready for instant hanging. And I wasn't impressed with how the side looked on the wall. They just didn't fold the edges in as nicely as I am used to.







Overall I was pleased with the product. I am pickier than most just because I am used to professional canvases. But if you are just looking to print some of your favorite images, this isn't a bad way to go. This is a fun way to preserve memories or make a great wall grouping.
