id like to print jpegs onto canvases. i have jpegs with ridiculous resolution, like 4800x3600, etc. are there any large chain stores that can do this? i want the canvases to be at least 36"x24".

Chances are that a large chain store wouldn't be able to do this kind of work. You'll probably need to find a smaller, independent store that has this capability. Large chain stores mostly focus on doing standard photo printing in bulk.

Hope those help and let me know where you end up sending them and how the quality is.

yah id like to. i see these idiots printing digital photos onto canvases and selling them on ebay for over a hundred a pop. its absurd. the companies that gallopin linked to are too pricy though. hopefully ill be able to find a fair deal. it shouldnt cost $100 for someone to print out a photo onto a canvas that i provide for them. i think they overcharge because its a specialty item and because they "think" that its worth that price. i should be able to get prints done for $10 a piece, and would buy like 30 of them. id like to keep a bunch for myself, and i would sell the rest off on ebay. maybe that would be quite a lucrative business. i just need to find a damn company that wont overcharge me.

Those were just the links I had book marked when I started looking at doing this a few months back. I haven't had a chance to do a more recent search. But, the price was why I never actually sent any of my stuff in to get it printed. Although I'd love to have some of it on canvas.

Let me know if you find a quality place for a good price.

That resolution will get you a very nice 8x10 print.
