They are a good bunch, and are really open to doing the right thing for photographers. Their UX needs a bit of love, but its a great service, especially for what you are looking for. I'm pushing on them to have an option to let the photographer actually fulfill print sales personally instead of a machine print froma service. The canvas, framing an other options I've seen (they have samples in their offices) are really quite impressive and they won't offer anything unless it meets their strict standards of quality (i.e. They changed to thicker canvas prints because you could see the mounts thru the canvas on the first batch).
