you can get photographs on canvas at kinkos. You give them the file in pdf format and they produce it on canvas the size that you want it in. The larger the finished canvas the better resolution they need it in preferably 300 dpi res.
Many online photoprinting places will do it. You can also take it to Ritz camera and maybe even Wal-Mart. For online try Mpix.
You can also do it yourself if you have a good printer that can handle the thickness of the canvas. Before you print on canvas you need to coat the canvas with a primer which will stiffen it and allow the ink to adhere. This really isn’t feasable with a cheap all in one printer but if you have a good dedicated photo printer you can do it.
A great place to do this is Imagekind.com
They offer free memberships which would work great if you just want to have some prints produced on canvas.
Their quality is excellent and they provide pretty easy to use interface when it comes to uploading and purchasing.
