I've tried a couple of places. My best experience by far was Canvas On Demand. They're constantly running Groupons - google 'national Groupon list' or something like that and you should find one pretty fast. Great customer service and they'll replace it if you don't like it (I've done that).

Try to set up a pro account (http://www.canvasondemand.com/professional/)- you'll get better prices (even while using a Groupon), and your first 16x20 is free (+$15 or so shipping). You must have some sort of photography website to qualify (PM me for a possible workaround).

I've used Adorama too and been very happy, but Canvas On Demand has a nicer final product for cheaper. And I've had bad experience with Artscow and Costco - lousy quality and colors, and it started to flake after a couple of months.
groupon deal today!

Say you buy the 16x20 Groupon - what you get is a coupon code for $127 - the price of the print and shipping. Since the pro price of a 16x20 is $100 shipped, the Groupon actually gives you a credit of only $100. However, now you could upgrade to a bigger size, say 20x24 for only about $15, instead of the usual $25. This price difference gets considerably bigger as the prints get larger.

Of course if you want a 20x24 you should just get the Groupon for it (which is only $7 more than the 16x20), but if you want something bigger than what Groupon offers you'll save a fair amount.

I used www.Pictureitoncanvas.com when they had a groupon deal for it. I ordered the 24x30 and it came out stunning and did not lose a bit of quality. I would really recommend it but the full price is quite expensive IMO.

What picture did you put on it? A portrait or a painting?
