Inkdoodle, Markham

Inkdoodle transforms customers into artists. The website lets people upload a favorite photo—such as a family portrait or a candid shot at the park—and have the image printed directly on a gallery-wrapped canvas or metal photo piece. For canvas wrapped prints (not available for metal prints), specialists help augment customers' self-selected artworks with color-control and image-enhancement systems that bolster hues and sharpen lines. Once the image is appropriately distinct and colorful, they transfer it onto canvas or metal piece with large format printers, saving their computers the hassle of learning to hold a paintbrush.
