High Quality Printing Company Recommendations?

I just spent a lot of time and effort getting set up with West Coast Imaging to have them handle my print fulfillment needs when it comes to canvas wraps and prints on Silver Rag paper. I got an email from them today stating that they are starting a new $250.00 minimum order policy immediately! That's $250 per order! They will waive this fee if you order more than $500 per year.

Since I'm just starting to sell my work, I can't really estimate how many prints I will order from them so I don't know if I will make their $500/year threshold. It's quite possible but will they just take my word for it?

So I'm looking for other printing options. Can anyone recommend a lab that prints on Silver Rag and does canvas wraps with no minimum dollar amount (or at least something reasonable like $15/order minimum)? Thanks!

I have done a few orders for some of the members here. I avoid canvas but can basically print whatever you like on my Epson 9900. If I dont have the profiles I can make em here. Let me know exactly what you need and your time window.

Oh yeah - I have no min reqts and if you are in town you can proof it and print it while you wait.

I've gotten canvas prints from WHCC.com and they came out very well. I don't think they do Silver Rag. Their minimum order is just $12...

pixel2canvas.com seems to have very good reviews for their canvas prints, though I haven't used them

I was talking with a gallery owner whose husband is a photographer, they display and sell canvas wraps almost exclusively. They use Canvas on Demand. I plan to check them out.

For luster prints I use WHCC and I've gotten wraps from WHCC and Aspen Photo with good results. I haven't looked for national printers that print on matte papers. I'd be interested in who you find or who others have used.

Yep, WHCC and Aspen Creek Photo are both good, and so is BayPhoto, definitely look into them as well. Between those three you should fare well. BTW, if you want good looking 20x30's printed on an Epson 7880 using a Dry Creek profile, all for $8.99, head on over to Costco, they all have 'em now.

Talked with WCI today and they told me that the email announcing the $250/order minimum was sent to me by mistake. Whew! Glad I don't have to go searching for another lab! Thanks to everyone who made suggestions. I'm keeping them on file for possible future use.
