    What res do the photos need to be for them to look half decent on a frame that size? Does anybody know? I have no idea.

      Just make sure it comes from your phone camera or without passing through WhatsApp or FB; they compress images.
      The file should be 2MB or larger, or at least 2000 pixels on one of the dimensions.

    • sane on 21/10/2018 - 10:30

      Good rule of thumb for canvases is 200dpi, so given it's 20x40 inches, that's 4000x8000. You can get away with less (eg 3000x6000) but it will start becoming blurry, up close. Upshot is, with the aspect ratio change, oversharping, lack of tight focus, your typical smartphone snap will tend to show up the imperfections when blown up to this size. Better to have good panorama shot, if it's a smartphone.

      Remember that you need to allow for the print wrapping around the frame and onto the back. Make sure you don't have important content going up to the edge.

      • PorkHunt on 21/10/2018 - 10:38

        I've got a portrait shot, that's 300dpi with a res of 2000x3000 pixels. Would this turn out OK on the smaller 12x24 size canvas print?

        • sane on 21/10/2018 - 10:53
          +1

          Obviously 3000 pixels at 300dpi is 10 inches.

          You can print it at this size (portrait rather than landscape, natch) but with 75dpi. So long as your portrait itself is quite 'long'.

          I'd put it into an art package and use the best enlarge option possible, maybe one of those newer AI based ones, and then look at the result carefully to check if it was sharp enough at the scale I was interested in. Blow it up on the screen so the effective size is right for the final print scale, and see if it looks good.

          Just an FYI, if you are talking about a digital file the DPI shown on the file is meaningless. You can edit that metadata to say 1 or 1000000 dpi and it makes no difference.

          Just divide your resolution by the number of inches and for a canvas keep it above 100 PPI (pixels per inch). 200 ppi would be better but 100 is still going to give you good results at that size.

      • newox on 21/10/2018 - 11:55

        is there an option for mirror or black borders?

        • sane on 21/10/2018 - 12:08

          I think from memory you can set white borders, or something derived from the front. Never used those options though, I always made sure the sides had what I wanted on them.

          They do give you some level of preview.

      • Luckypenguin on 21/10/2018 - 13:39

        In no way will you require a 32mp image to print a 1m wide canvas.

      • BertieBrown on 21/10/2018 - 19:01

        Thanks so much for the info sane :) Now I know what to do, takes the guesswork out of it. Much appreciated.

  • hasher22 on 21/10/2018 - 09:10

    I recommend Big W photo canvas prints as well. I have 3 and I have printed for my friends birthdays as I design its easy for me to create custom designs. I have 3 for approx 5 years and still looking great, no fading etc….

    I am just waiting for their rectangle canvas to go on sale. I missed it 1 week ago :(

    Snapfish currently have a 70% off canvas which makes it a bit cheaper. Whilst they have a terrible review history online, my experience was great. Yes the shipping takes a bit longer but it was less than 2 weeks. I made sure I used very high res photos and the quality on the 6 canvases I got was great.

  • Spets on 21/10/2018 - 09:21

    Are there any free sites with wildlife photos which would be suitable?

    • Bellpop on 21/10/2018 - 09:23
      +3

      Search google images for what u want. Make it an ‘advanced’ search and set the minimum resolution to whatever u think will be high res enough

    • teereb on 21/10/2018 - 09:38

      Any animals in particular?

      Otherwise a link to something similar that bellpop posted:

      https://www.google.com.au/search?q=wildlife&safe=off&tbs=isz…

      That takes you to google image results of 'wildlife' of resolution higher than 15mp (4480x3360) res. Should be decent enough to print something from that res onto canvas at that size advertised above.

        Unsplash has the best free stock in my opinion. Been a graphic designer for 5+ years and unsplash has the most beautiful stock images.

          Agree, I use Unsplash for all my website work as they have great quality photos and of course they are free.
          For printing on canvas most of their photos are of a high resolution so you should find something you like.
          As an example go to Unsplash.com and enter ‘Giraffe’ in the search box. Most photos are at least 3000 on one side

      Try a local men’s shed or woodturners shed. They may do a custom sized frame for you for cheap.

  • chrisd82 on 21/10/2018 - 11:42

    Im always curious on the actual printers/inksets and media these places actually use.

    • Duff5000 on 21/10/2018 - 21:10

      Unsure but Fuji are pretty big in the print industry. Most in store print labs are fuji machines.

      • Munki on 21/10/2018 - 22:13

        They also make tasty apples.

      • chrisd82 on 22/10/2018 - 01:29

        That's usually digital offset, wet labs and dye sub printing.
        Fuji isn't as known for large format printers though their website has a section with limited info - Can't just and order online along with inks and various media from their site or other large format print suppliers which seems to go towards like Epson, Canon, HP or Roland.

    • PorterD on 21/10/2018 - 23:24

      They come from Fujifilm.

  • Robc on 21/10/2018 - 11:46

    • ATTS on 21/10/2018 - 11:53

      whats the minimum resolution to look good for the $19 one? and what do you guys use to hang it on the wall?

      • Robc on 21/10/2018 - 12:06
        +1

        It really depends how good the photo is… an easy check is to get the photo up on your tv, and scale it until its 12x12… assuming your tv is hd or better. That'll give you an idea if it will be too blurry, etc

        SANE a few posts up recommends 200 dpi per 9nch, so thay would be 2400 by 2400.

  • moony on 21/10/2018 - 14:58

    I have a 200 dpi image with 3600 x 2400 res. Does anyone know if it will come out ok with the 20 x 40" image? Thanks in advance :)

    • Duff5000 on 21/10/2018 - 21:18
      +2

      You have an image with resolution 3600 x 2400. The dpi shown on the file is essentially meaningless, you can change it to say any number and you still have the same number of pixels.

      At 36in x 24in you would have 100 PPI (pixels per inch) That will look pretty good, 200 ppi would be preferable though but not really required for that size print.

      The OP linked to a 20x40 which is going to put you at around 90 ppi. Really getting to the lower limits of what is going to look acceptable depending on viewing distance.

      • moony on 21/10/2018 - 22:12

    It is a saving of about $20. Kmart offer a similar size for $79. A Google search will show comparable prices to Big W's reduced price. Just sayin', in case someone feels that they're getting the bargain because of the Jacked retail price of $230.

    • AustriaBargain on 21/10/2018 - 18:54

      Do Big W use a better printing process than Kmart? Longer lasting Fuji inks maybe?

    • Munki on 21/10/2018 - 22:15

      Kmart uses Kodak machines and from my experience they're terrible.

  • gnoks on 21/10/2018 - 17:58

    how good quality are these compared to dedicated photo shop advertising their special fuji kodak paper and timber frames etc?

    • Duff5000 on 21/10/2018 - 21:20

      fuji kodak paper?

      These are done by Fuji.

  • trevbreak on 21/10/2018 - 18:09

    Picked one of these up a few weeks ago for a wedding print - not the best print I've ever seen, but certainly not the worst either.
    I'm pretty impressed with the quality given the price.

    I have mine hung in a hallway - so it's viewed from a very close distance (<60cm away)
    Even at that close viewing position, the quality is very good.

      • gnoks on 22/10/2018 - 06:53

        but to upload a photo you need the app and the app still says $230?

  • brotherfranciz on 22/10/2018 - 00:02

    I would recommend using the website rather than the app if you want more customisation, such as: backgrounds, embellishments, borders, and adding text.

  • gif on 22/10/2018 - 17:05

    Anyone happen to know how accurate that red border is for the canvas wrap around is? If I put an image only in the white section and just empty space in the red, how likely is it to come out as per the website?

    • dreambuds on 22/10/2018 - 17:38

      i'll say its pretty accurate. if there is no image on the red border, it will be just white when it come out.

      • gif on 26/10/2018 - 19:39

        I went ahead with it and it turned out pretty accurate. There is a slight amount of overlap over the sides and the canvas was not wrapped entirely straight, but it’s a pretty minor defect. I’d be upset if I spent $200 plus but for $59 it’s good.

  • blwnhr on 22/10/2018 - 20:53

    FYI there are cheaper options around. I was about to buy a 50x150cm Big W canvas when I thought I should price check.

    Big W $175 + $12.95 postage
    https://www.customcanvasonline.com.au $135.62 inc. postage. Their reviews seem quite good - https://www.productreview.com.au/p/custom-canvas-online.html

    https://www.photobookshop.com.au/voucher also has some super cheap canvas print options too.

    I must be doing something wrong - It's asking me to install flash. My understanding was that Flash was found to be a major security risk!
    How is everyone able to use this service? Neither Chrome nor Firefox will install Flash.

    • Duff5000 on 24/10/2018 - 12:28

      Chrome should install flash just fine. it just asks to confirm before any site actually runs anything flash.
