Hi all,
as many of you know, my main business is canvas printing. Ive only just started with sub-dye, mostly mugs.
I also do trade for my canvases. I know a lot of people here are dabbling in canvas on a sub-dye basis but Im guessing because sub-dye can be done from desktop printers, you're not able to do large canvases over 13" wide (if you have an A3 printer)
And so....
I'm offering my services for larger canvases. for your infos, i use:
435GSM poly/cotton canvas (probably the heaviest canvas around) its from Belgium - not the very cheap Chinese rubbish!
Its Satin pre-coated and so gives a good shine but not too glossy and certainly not dull Matt.
I only print at high res (1080x1080DPI) at 75 dpi-full size or 300dpi quarter size (before anyone says anything, please dont mix up Lithograph printing with inkjet!) 75dpi at full size gives the same as 300 dpi (75dpi for Litho would be pixelated to hell!)
I use Eco-sol Max inks (solvent) CMYK
All frames are 1.5" thick gallery, not the thin 1.5cm (ewwww)
I can also print true black and white canvases. About a year ago Roland released an ICC profile for just this job, therefore you dont get green-blacks, the image is printed from the black cart only and doesnt use the CMY like so many other printers to make black.
I work hard :) and offer 100% money back if you (or your client) doesnt like the canvas!!!
I can drop ship if you want but thats a sticky area, Id prefer to send YOU the canvas and you deal with YOUR customer. Postage is transparent, i use DHL or HDNL £8.00 per canvas/consignment (its actually about £7.05 but i add £1.00 for the packaging). i can get about 3 or 4 canvases in one parcel, even large ones, theres a 10kilo limit and canvas is super light so if its possible and you want a few then Ill always do my best to arrange postage. I dont use Royal Mail at all unless you ask for it. The reason is simple, if the parcel is damaged then RM will not pay compo and Im sick of books of stamps, couriers pay up - eventually :)
typical prices...
12x12" - £15.00
24x16" - £30.00
24x36" - £44.00
I also do Tryptics (3 piece canvas) or 4 or 5 or 6 lol prices are size dependant but again it's trade so it wont break the bank but do remember that i have to make money as well :? lol
I can supply a full price list if you want, mail or PM your email addresses.
i also do mugs, t-shirts, mousemats..ooops! LOL
If you're looking for another angle to add to your business then think about canvas. I supply a few award winning photographers in Swansea and they are more than happy. photographers are super picky (and quite rightly) so i must be doing something right!
I can also do images onto acrylic as well, these are more expensive coz theyre a pain to do but the results are incredible, have a google about for acrylic and check retail prices! theyre silly high. Mine are on 5 or 8mm CAST acrylic with flame polished edges, I can supply the mounts but because theres so many varieties of mounts i tend to leave it upto you, i can send you links to sites for mounts and you can buy direct from them.

Think canvas...think Dave (always wanted to say that hahaha)

p.p.s....I can also do large photographic prints as well, upto 28" wide by any length.
