Hi Paul, you can get your supplies from "Lyon" they also have images of step by step instructions.
I think the charge vary hugely from location to location I do various sizes starting from 12x10 to 20 x16 (end finished sizes, the canvas is printed larger to allow for the wrap around the bars) and my prices go up to £49.99. I have other colleagues in the same business charging much more but they can get away with it and it is still very profitable for me.

Just a quick question about canvas printing, what sort of time, temp and pressure do you use as I have tried a few and the coplours seem a little dull.
Thanks

The best aid I've seen for stretching canvas is the quickmate canvas stretcher you can see a full demo on youtube, cost just under £200 but if anyone is stretching canvas on a regular basis it's well worth the money...have a look on youtube

Try and add some contrast, we always do with ours although we use differents inks.

If you go for a 2-3 inch wrap then you're probably looking at a max size of 6 x 8 inches.
