I'm looking to get a few images printed on canvas. I haven't had it done before and I would like to get it right.

I've got a K10d. What sort of size should the images print out at.

I was thinking 60x40cm or even a bit bigger.

What do you guys think?

up to A2 should be fine.

Shoot in RAW and save in not compressed TIFF files.

I have a 36" x 24" canvas from an *ist-D (6Mp), shot RAW and upsized in Photoshop.
Printed at PhotoArtistry.co.uk
Looks great

It would also depend on the subject of the image

I've also had a 36" x 24" canvas printed for a customer, taken with my GX10...they were more than happy with the quality....the latest versions of Photoshop are very good at upsizing images, just make sure you apply sharpening after the image has been upsized

i printed a 36" x 18" (90cm x 45cm) and it came out just fine. it is on canvas and hung up on the wall so i feel blowing it up even more is no big deal. i look at a canvas for sharpness. picture was taken with a k10
