Press Release Summary = Printing a photo onto canvas has become as easy as ordering
prints or photo books online at www.printing-1.co.uk. Printing-1 delivers in the UK,
Ireland, the USA and most European countries also under a separate delivery address.
This appears convenient in the run up to the Christmas gift shopping rush,
especially considering the package size of the mounted canvases. The modern
production processes reduce the costs, which allows Printing-1 to offer their prints
from £29.95 for a 30cm or 12" mounted canvas and the largest format at 120 cm x 120
cm at £159.95 (postage & packaging is £9.90). Prices which seem well below those
that could be found online until recently.

Press Release Body = Printing on canvas has so far been dominated by small,
specialist workshops, elaborating individual prints and who hand stretch them over a
frame. An expensive process, but a new offering this Christmas gift season is about
to bring change. printing-1, an online specialist that uses large, high-tech
installations to improve quality and reduce costs on personalised photo gifts is
launching a new photo on canvas print service this week.

London, UK. 16 November 2006. - Taking good photographs is easier and cheaper than
ever before. Many digital images lingering on computer hard drives could stand out
on an office wall, the reception or in the sitting room at home. Until recently
photo canvas printing was done by small workshops at horrendous prices. Printing-1
claims to apply the latest technology and efficient production methods to offer what
it calls big canvas prints at small prices.

printing 1, a specialist servicing amateur and professional photographers alike,
prints photos onto canvas on frames starting at 30 cm per side and increasing in 10
cm steps to 80 cm per side, where any combination of size can be chosen in these 10
cm steps. The standardised formats, parts and processes allow for higher degree of
automation and help to bring the price down. The print penetrates deep into the yarn
and therefore does not crack on the edge of the frame. Images are delivered
stretched and mounted onto a robust wooden frame which can be hung on the wall
immediately and is expected to be extremely long lasting, due to optimised inks and
fabrics.

Photographic canvas prints help to refine holiday snaps into large format objects of
art. The fine structure of the fabric and the image extending over the frame creates
the impression of great depth. As the print is highly durable and already mounted
onto the frame expensive glass frames become unnecessary. The mounted canvas can be
put on the wall immediately and is becomes a very individual piece of art. It is an
ideal present suitable for the home as well as stylish offices. Photos on canvas
should appeal particularly to those enthusiasts who use Photoshop filters and image
editing software like Fo2Pix Artmaster to create digital art. When digital image
editing causes the wish to create a large, artistic canvas, the home inkjet printer
does not suffice. Printing-1 claims to provide the right quality. A photographic
canvas print shows more detail, a finer structure and greater depth than images
behind glass frames or a photographic poster print.
