Where in Stellenbosch can I do this? Want to print a poster I have to present in America then it is easier to transport.

bwana where in PE u get those printed so cheaply (if u mind), got quoted R800 last time at grand prix.
I usually go to guys in walmer/south end for vinyl prints (cant recall name off hand) been a while, dont know if they do canvas prints.

Whats the difference between Canvas Prints, Canvas Blocked and Canvas Stretched?

I want three A0 movie posters done.

<head slap> Forgot one of my clients actually does this :-( </head slap>

From Nippy Print.

We have 2 types of canvas…
1. Uncoated (raw) best for sepia older looking works of art/photos – colours are duller
2. Coated (slight gloss coating) colours are brighter

As for your questions…

CMYK artwork is required.
Eco-solvent inks are used – this is not water-based so the prints are smudge free (used for outdoor banners etc.).
Canvas Print - Cut to size and usually conventionally framed.
Canvas Blocked (I’m sure you mean block mounted) – canvas is pasted onto a piece of wood and sometimes has beading around the edges.
Stretch Canvas – the canvas is stretched over a wooden frame, you do not see the frame.

Cost of an A0 : Print R420.00 (excl. vat)
Additional to : Stretch Canvas R630.00 (excl. vat) (We only offer stretch canvas for a mounting option)

Hope this helps the Gauteng photogs.
