Gallery Wraps

[HotHolly]

Has anyone ordered from Simply Canvas B4? I was thinking about ordering a bunch of stuff, but I was wondering about color correction, quality, and all that? Any tips for 1st time orders from anyone else?

I've been printing gallery wraps for years. send me a note if you have any questions. I can't speak to their practices but can offer good advice/pricing/etc

Holly,

Not sure what your timing is...but I placed an order with them today for a 16x24 bridal portrait. I can let you know what it looks like when it comes in or snap a few photos of it. One thing about ordering, they get you to download "Lab Prints" which I found complicated to navigate because I did not want yet another program / system that I had to "learn". I wound up ordering the print directly from their site which was quite simple, but very cumbersome if you would like to make changes as you have to start over.

Sorry, my experience is limited... but the pricing was much better than printroom.com which provides all my other items so it was worth giving them a shot.

Ok, so we just got our first canvas in from Simply Canvas, and I have to say I am pretty pleased with the overall process. I was concerned about their color output but I added a note to "color correct for their output" or to call me with any issues which they did. I recieved a call from them prior to printing the canvas to verify my orderand to confirm that this canvas was going to be framed before the client received it.

The quality of the canvas itself appears to be much nicer than some of the peices I have had done locally. In addition, I was particuliarly impressed with the level of tension during the stretching process. My only concern or complaint would be that I would like to see them use foam or cardboard "corner guards" inside the shipping box to help prevent the box from being crushed and causing damage to the print (not that mine had any). I may choose to have the canvas rolled on larger peices to ensure this is not a problem.

Overall a good experience however, I have a client who just ordered a 30 x 40 portrait, so I will reserve our "final assessment" until we see how the next experience goes.

Hope this helps...

Thanks for the info!

I recently ordered two samples and they did a great job. An 11x14 and a 20x30. They even called me to point out a minor error in one of the files.

I ordered a 30x40, 8x10, and 24x36 (or some random dimension) on my first order and I have to tell you, I was BLOWN away by their level of customer support! They called me on the 30x40 about some of the imaging I did which was to be honest, pretty pathetic. I don't know what I was thinking when I did it- I even forgot to include my signature on it! I was so thankful they called rather than just pushing it through making assumptions that that's how I'd want it. I fixed the file and just resent it and voi-la (sp?)! They looked great! The really awesome thing I liked about them is they told me based on the file I emailed if it would enlarge to the size I would want or not. The canvases looked AWESOME and I am a believer in Simply Canvas- their customer support and good quality product sold me! Also, the prices seemed high to me, but comparing it to WHCC's gallery wrapped canvases wiht UV coating, etc, it was less expensive at SC.

Simply Canvas simply RULES! I have been using them for all of my portrait canvases and love the quality. The photos come out much clearer with a lot more detail than what you can get from places like MPix. The best part is that they are in the same price range and make a better quality product.

You may want to look into one of their walls so that you can show a customer the difference in size from the smaller to larger canvases.

That's what Im thinking about doing. I have a new client with an ADORABLE little girl. I was thinking about doing something really vibrant and ordering those as the sample pieces.

How do the canvases handle darker colors? All the samples Ive seen were really bright and cheery. All our stuff is really dark and moody.
