Getting the Most out of Professional Print Services

There really is nothing quite like the joy of creating something from scratch.  Many people get totally hooked once they try crafting.  Taking relatively boring materials and turning them into something interesting or beautiful is very fulfilling.

In time, your friends and families will be keen to own your creations.  You soon learn that your wall hangings, rugs, ornaments, paintings and drawings make great gifts.

Let print firms help you to create great gifts 

If you want to make more from your creations, employing professional print firms like hellocanvas is a great way to do it.  It is an extremely easy way to have a nice photo you have taken turned into a print you can hang on your wall.  Or, give as a gift to a family member or friend.

All you need to do is to take your high-resolution photo and crop it to create the picture you want using a free photo editing system like the one you can find here.  Something that is surprisingly easy to do.  There are plenty of two or three-minute videos that show you exactly how to do it available on YouTube.

Once you are happy with the image, you just upload it to the canvas printer's website and choose the size print you want.  Then put the kettle on and relax.  In about a week, your finished print will arrive.  Most firms are happy to send the finished print to another address and offer a gift-wrapping service.  So, this is a great way to buy a special present for someone who lives on the other side of the country, or even abroad.

Choosing the right print firm 

However, you do need to be a bit careful when using the services of an online print retailer.  If you have never ordered from them before, pause, and take the time to find out a bit about them.  Check out the reviews and read their returns policy before placing your order.

Make sure that the ordering screen is secure.  The URL should start with https rather than http and there should be a little padlock symbol, without a line through it, displayed next to the website address.  If you live in a country where paying with a credit card offers you extra consumer protection, be sure to pay in that way.

More ways to use professional print firms 

Once you find a service you like there is a lot you can do with a professional print firm.  They can produce far more than blown-up versions of your holiday snaps.

For example, an innovative way to pull everything together in a newly decorated room is to take a high resolution close up photo of an item of soft furnishing.  Then enhance the photo using a free photo editor.  Print it out to 4 pages using your home printer.  Carefully stick the four pages onto a large piece of card and hang it on your wall. If you like the effect, order a professional version.  Then send your single high-resolution image to the to print firm.  They will print it up into the size canvas print you want.

Remember they can print out any image.  So, you can easily create unique works of art and have them printed up professionally.  A lot of artists now take high-resolution pictures of their work and have them printed out to sell or give as gifts.
