Canvas Prints

Can anyone recommend a company for canvas prints that can provide the following?

I want a cavas measuring something like 42" x 28". It doesnt have to be that exact size but something around it but it MUST conform to a 1:1.5 ratio as I don't want this particular photo to be cropped or have a border around it.

The image itself is B&W which I want to appear on the front of the canvas and then for the sides to be plain white.

Quality of print, canvas and mount must be very good as this is going to take pride of place and will be looked at every day.

PhotoArtistry are so far the only company I can find that can make a cnavas that conforms to the 1:1.5 ratio in sizes as large as this in fact they will make one to any custom size but are they any good?

Anyone know of any good companies that can do this?

Re: Canvas Prints

canvas printers shouldnt be tied down to any particular ratios only a maximum on the short edge. If they have restrictions, dont bother using them

Re: Canvas Prints

Yea intelligence direct will do any size you want.

If you email them they will also send you out samples of all their grades of canvas so you can make a more informed decision
