A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hello from Portugal! I want to print a few photos but besides not knowing much about that aspect of photography I also have nearly zero experience with it on a local business but wasn't good so I am embracing doing it online. What websites do you recommend for quality and bang for buck? Is Google photos printing any good? Also where do you go for frames besides ikea?

I will let others comment on what online printers are available for Portugal, as I am unsure. However if it's anything like what's available in the US, oftentimes there are different storefronts like Walmart or Target, but they end up using the same exact printing facility. So it's the same quality but with different watermarks and prices.
I hope you find a solution. Printing your images out is as magical.

Do you know of any good websites that don't add any sort of watermark to there canvases. I went with canvasdiscount last time and was pretty unhappy with the result(should have expected that from the name though) Not only was it watermarked on the back but 3 of the canvases I received had a noticeable scratch or printing malfunction on it.

I haven't gotten into canvas prints but use Costco, which recently partnered stih Shutterfly. Their regular prints do not have watermarks but their books have branding, I believe. Wish I had a more helpful answer!

Canvaspop and Mpix both have done nice work for me. I always get my stuff printed on canvas. Both companies have high prices but they will send u regular emails offering "% off" deals.

i prefer canvas prints with no frame... these are on a wall in my home
