Stretching canvas

smelltheglove

Hi all, I am entering my first week with my own little portrait studio and I'm looking into prices for canvas prints. I have found a fair few, the area I am dealing with is kind of cheap and cheerful so price is a big thing, I need to get as cheap as possible and sell as cheap as possible whilst still getting a decent profit.

I am hoping to use 360-dpi as a supplier for the canvas prints, we all know Steve here and many of us have used him. Obviously it is cheaper for me to buy printed and stretch myself, has anyone dones this and do you think I would be better off just buying stretched? I will have plenty of time to do this myself and have read a few instructions, I have decent enough diy skills. The idea is, the cheaper I sell the more I sell, I would love to undercut the price that they have already been selling at and this would be possible bby straching myself.

Any hints or tips fully appreciated, even if you think I'm mad.

Hey thanks Steve, I hate asking for too much. I need to call you anyway but house is crazy now so will do possibly tomorrow, I want my own samples to display.

Geez I feel terrible asking for tuition as well as service;)
