Choosing suppliers - HELP!!

[EOSNovice]

Hi Guys

I don't know if you can assist me but as I'm just starting out, I'm trying to choose my suppliers for canvas, acrylic and framed prints (I use DS Colour Labs for printing).

It seems an absolute minefield out there! Are there any companies you would totally recommend and any you would say avoid?

I'm really floundering in a sea of companies at the minute and am pulling my hair out ! I need to get a framed print done in the next couple of weeks and have no idea where to go!

Thanks in anticipation!
Laura

I know they're the sponsors, but they don't seem to do framed prints...any ideas?

You could try Peak Imaging, http://www.peak-imaging.co.uk/, they're based in Sheffield and I used them quite a bit in when I was in the UK.

I use these for frames, you can 100% customise your frame to any size and style.

Silly question Steve, but are they easy to build to a professional quality? Do you tape the backs of yours or just use the tabs they talk about?
