I was wondering if anyone knows who makes round cornered frames in the UK?

Hi

I have to print a canvas giclee 215x215 cm can anybody recommend a supplier for this job?

Obviously the size is rather large and this rules out most standard printer!

Any tips greatly received!

Hi I was wondering if any of you very knowledgable individuals could help me with a problem that sounds simple but it proving otherwise!
