What they say is exactly what they do. When I first agreed to a product review I was given the option to choose from a few things. Those were a 36x24 Photo Canvas, a leather wrapped or hard back photo book, or an iPhone Case. I had originally chose the 36x24 Photo Canvas! There was only one issue with this, because most of the photos I have, have been taken from a mobile device they would not stretch properly (without being blurry) onto that large of a canvas. No worries I decided to down-sized to a 20x16 photo canvas and added a hard back photo book!

This photo experts at Printer Pics tried very diligently to get my photo to work but they did not want me to be unhappy with my canvas.Customer service and satisfaction is one of their top priorities and you can tell that every step along the way.

I had a hard time choosing what photo I wanted for the canvas but I finally decided on one of my and my husband from our wedding day. My cousin snapped the photo during the wedding and you would swear she was a professional photographer! She caught as at the perfect moment, staring into each others eye, smiling at one another while the preacher was reading off his sermon. I wanted something that meant the world to me on this canvas and that's what I got.

When it came to the photo book I decided it might as well coincide with the canvas. At this point it had been over a year since our wedding and I still had not gotten any of our photos from the wedding printed off to put into an album. Time was not on my side. I quickly jumped on the opportunity to finally do this. Not only did they print my photos off they placed them in a photo book with out names on the front and beautiful quotes and words written all through it!

I knew what my previews of both the canvas and the photo book looked like on the website because they give you the option to preview them but I could not wait to see them in person. I was backing out of the drive way for work one morning and I noticed a pretty large but thin box on my front porch. I stopped the vehicle and ran up to get it. I opened it and there they were. BEAUTIFUL, is not enough to describe the work they did. I put them in the car with me and took them to work. The first thing I did was take it in and show it to everyone I worked with. They were all in awe over what I had received. I even got a few new likes on Facebook that day because they couldn't wait to read about the company that did the work.

The process was so easy to get exactly what I wanted!

For the photo canvas you start out by choosing the size of canvas you want, this ranges from a 10x8 to a 48x36! Printer Pix is one of the few companies that offers photo canvases this large that I have saw. After you choose your size and clicked started a window pops up that tell you to upload a photo. Here you have the option to upload from your computer or from their stock image library. After you choose and image from either option you get to edit your photo canvas by choosing the thickness and type (Landscape, Portrait, Square or Panoramic). On this page there is also a Photo Quality detector below your picture. They like for your photo to have at least 3 stars for it to fit properly on the size you choose, they would never tell you that you couldn't use a photo due to this only warn that the image may be a little blurred. They only want the best picture you can get! Once you have edited your photo to your liking you may click preview your item. This is one of my favorite parts! They don't just show you what your canvas is going to look like by itself they place it in a variety of pictures of rooms so you can get a feel for what you are ordering! A big two thumbs up to them for taking that extra step. If you like what you see click "add to basket". After that they give you the chance to add wonderful upgrades to your photo canvas such as upgrading to a 60% cotton photo canvas for added thickness and higher quality, upgrading to a 9 color Giclee Professional Print and a quality fixing/hanging kit. The options are all up to you.



For the photo book I chose a 20 page, 8x8, Modern Hard Cover. You can also choose a Leather Bound Book or Modern Soft Cover, change the amount of pages and the sizeof the book (this ranges from an 8x6 to a 12x12).Once you've decided on your photo book click "Get Started". Next you get to choose your theme, the options are endless, you can see the book I chose HERE. Now you type in your project name and click "start project". Now you get to upload your photos, you also have many options here as to where you get your photo's from ( Your Computer, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Picasa, Smug Mug or Photo Bucket). Now you simply edit the photo book the way you want it, preview and order!



I had such a wonderful time working with Printer Pix and I plan on ordering more photo's from them! I hope you will give them a try with your photos! Two lucky readers get's to win the same item's I received! One for the photo canvas and one for the photo book! Enter in the rafflecopter form below! As always good luck and thank you for reading!

  1. Love the canvas and books, but I think a book would be my favorite because I can put lots of pictures in it and tell a story with them.
