Printing Panoramas

There are some online printing labs that will print panoramic sizes, but my go-to for printing panos is to have them printed on canvas. One advantage of canvas is that it’s the most forgiving printing surface known to man. If you don’t quite have enough resolution to print something really big, print it on canvas and they’ll never know. Plus, I love giving a pano as a gift—the people receiving it literally lose their minds. I have two sources (here in the US) that I use for printing panos. If you want the most awesome canvas you’ve ever seen, like gallery-quality stuff, try ArtisticPhotoCanvas.com (I’m not affiliated with them in any way, besides just being one of their customers). Their customer service is top notch, and all you have to do is upload the file to their site, and they’ll prep it for you. The canvas is wrapped around a wooden mounting frame, and you can have them wrap the image around the edges, or choose to have it mounted in a white or black frame. They are the best I’ve ever used. Great folks, too. The other one I use when I want the best possible price for a canvas pano, and the quality isn’t critical. The site is CanvasDiscount.com and their deals are pretty insane (I’m not affiliated with them either, just a customer). If you sign up for their newsletter, you’ll get deals that will blow your mind (not just on pano sizes). The last deal I got from them was for a 30x40" wrapped canvas on a wood frame for $30 (I am not making this up—I just looked it up in my email). It’s crazy! The quality is good. It’s not amazing. It’s “good.” But to send as a gift to a non-photographer (we’re so picky), it’s ideal. Anyway, just wanted to share how I print my panos.
