Big W Photos 20x40" (Panoramic) Canvas Prints - $59 (74% off)

690

I had a need to get a canvas print, did a search, found a bunch of expired deals. Went to set an alert, but clicked through on an old deal to see what the print size looked like. Discovered the deal from February was back on. Credit to Baltoski for the deal I was looking at: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/235233 and for the line: "There's no delivery charge if you pick up in store (takes around 10 days to be delivered to the store you nominate after placing your order)."

Other sizes are on sale too, but nothing as discounted as the 20"x40" panorama:

    50x100cm

    For those that didn't know (me) its 50 cm high and 100cm long.

    Any idea on the resolution?

      Wicked, for a moment I thought it was 50cm long and 100cm high and I would have to find some way to turn it 90 degrees…

      I've ordered several from Big W before. Resolution depends on your image size/quality, but I believe it will prompt you if it thinks the photo will lose resolution when blown up to the particular size. Big W also use Fujifilm prints, which are very high quality. No issues with it coming out darker or brighter than intended.

      For people ordering, keep in mind that this is panoramic, i.e. a lot of photos you take may not suit this 'framing' unless you specifically take a photo with the intention for it to me a panorama. In the past I felt that my photo looked a lot better with the extra height, and opted for the 75H x 100W when it was discounted. I think I paid $79 when on sale.

      Hope that helps!

      I'd say aim for 200ppi or higher (so 8000x4000) and you'll easily have enough. The texture of the canvas doesn't let you see higher than that anyway.

      And don't forget that the edges of your image are going to be wrapped round the sides, so make sure nothing critical is on those edges.

    Awesome thanks!

    • Why the down-votes? It's a legitimate question that I'm curious about as well.

        He asked it on the previous deal and got answered by a photography person. He's just being a tool, or subtly humorous. I'm still on the fence. If he was just trying to be helpful, he'd just explain why instead of asking it again.

        It's a stupid question, there are no problems with their printing process.

        JV constantly posts stupid questions to try and disrupt deals.

          It's a legitimate question about the quality of the prints.

          Unlike your comment which is just trolling by personally attacking OzBargain members.

          You have a history of deleted comments due to personal attacks which proves my point…

          @jv: but you'd asked it previously, and were answered previously, and thanked the answerer for his response. If you were worried other people would have the same apprehension on this deal, could you not have just described why it looked like that, and not asked the same question again?

          Bollocks, you've been caught out once again.

      • Why the down-votes?

        Some people like to blindly upvote comments without considering whether the product is actually good value for the price.

        I'm yet to be convinced that the quality of these is worth paying that much money.

        • Some people like to blindly upvote comments without considering whether the product is actually good value for the price.

          The question was about all the downvotes for you. I wouldn't call people idiots because they disagree with you, in fact the opposite.

          I'm yet to be convinced that the quality of these is worth paying that much money.

          So why post in these deals with stupid questions? They're worth every cent but if you don't have anything worth sticking up on the wall clearly don't bother.

        • @Maverick-au:

          You are in the minority then… Only 6% of people viewing this post agree with you and upvoted.

          I see you haven't upvoted either. I guess that makes you a hypocrite too…

      Thanks for the constructive comment. I'll be buying another off this deal as a gift. The three I have from previous deals over 2+ years are still going strong too.

  • Brought one around 6 months ago.. got high res picture and blew it.. amazing value.

    These canvas prints are absolutely brilliant.

    Hunt down high resolution images online (minimum 4000x2000) and upload for a cheap work of art which would set you back hundreds in a gallery.

    • Any links for this

      • I just use google images and search for the type of photo I want - landscapes or mountains or waterfalls or whatever. Then you limit googles results to high resolution images.

  • Would anyone pay $229 for this size? that seems crazy expensive.

  • Has someone used them in a home theater to increase sound acoustics/display ?

      Probably but I'm not sure how effective they would be at increasing acoustics.

      • Hmm. Lets see if someone has used them and give their review.

          These are effectively a speaker cover with slightly heavier cloth so I doubt they will make much of a difference unless you packed the void with foam.

          @Maverick-au:
          Looking briefly at this thread: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/19-dedicated-theater-design-co… I'd have to agree woth maverick.

          They'll make nice frames for acoustic deadeners, but you'll need to put some sort of insulation or baffle inside them for the actual deadening.

  • Received my canvas last week, very pleased. This is the second Big W canvas I've purchased, each time just using a high resolution wallpaper I liked. Wallpapers with a 'painted' look turn out well.
