Canvas printing - how big can you go?

If I wanted to put a picture on canvas how would I know what the quality would be like?

With 10million pixels and no cropping how big could I blow it up?

For best quality, about 11" x 14"

I have had a photo from an 8.2MP camera put onto a 27" x 18" canvas and it looks lovely (I could have gone to 30" x 20" but that looked too large for our living room).

Re: Canvas printing - how big can you go?

Cool.

I might just go for it and see what happens.

I am thinking of 20 x 16 so that should be within the limits.


kk,,,, why do you say so small? H ave you tried this?

Re: Canvas printing - how big can you go?

Its small because that will be optimum viewing quailty. You can go larger, but the closer you get to the canvas, the quality degrades. However it also depends on how you intend to enlarge. If your not sure on what your doing to get the best print out, i would get a professional printer to enlarge it for you.
