Get it done locally at precisioncolour. Go pick out your material and get a quality house to do it.

I was going to post a similar topic a few days back. I won't hijack your thread, but I was looking for an online retailer as well who does the multi panel canvas art of things like cityscapes etc. OP, multi panels are the way to go if that's your thing. So cool.

Branded Visuals (in Bragg Creek)
Resolve Photo

Shipped:

White House Custom Color (online, I believe you need to prove you are a photography business to use them)

I've used canvaspop.com with good results. They have a Canadian office and it's all hand made/inspected. I've also used crated which is an print on demand art site, but it's owned by canvaspop so it's the same. I don't live in a city, so local wasn't an option. I recommend canvaspop.

They usually offer a discount on your first order.

I have heard that some people use posterjack.ca but no personal experience myself.

A) Opus is a fantastic resource and they're affordable.
B) 5-17 MB photos are usually not high resolution for canvas printing. How large are you looking to make the prints? Most printing shops will only accept prints that are in TIFF files. Also are your files in RGB or CMYK? Almost 100% of all printers are in CMYK which is going to have less of a colour range than RGB. Make sure that you know what your pictures look like converted to CMYK before you take them to get printed so there aren't any surprises.

I second Resolve Photo, as I've always been happy with the results.

I have also used: PictureItOnCanvas.com (out of the US) of which their online system makes it easy to navigate and their customer service is quick and friendly. Remember to factor the cost of shipping of which these guys charge a very fair rate.
