Canvas Prints
Any photograph can be put onto a canvas and is one of the most popular ways of displaying your photographs. Please ensure you supply your image in either TIFF, JPEG, PNG or PDF. It should be a minimum of 240 dpi to ensure quality printing. What is DPI? Click here.
We print wide format as well and can create a reveal size for you up to 41" on canvas. Our printer is 44" but you will need a minimum of 1.5" on each side to wrap your canvas. If you want a 2" or larger edge reveal, then your front display will need to be smaller.
Customs sizes are the most popular because most customers bring in their photographs and don't want them cropped. By doing this, it seems almost every canvas is different, but that is not a problem for us. However, as the customer, you have choices to make on how your reveal is done. Either a gallery wrap, mirrored, or coloured reveal. What does that mean?
Gallery wrap has part of your photograph wrapped around the edge (reveal) of the stretcher bar that the canvas is mounted onto. This gives the wall art a much nicer reveal even as you walk up from an angle.
Mirrored edge is pretty much the same thing except that the edge shows the mirrored portion of your photograph on the edge. This can be anywhere from 1/2" up to 2" or more.
A coloured edge is exactly as it sounds. We can put any colour you want on the edges instead of using a portion of the photograph. Coloured tape (black or white only) can also be used. Typically, if you are putting your canvas into a frame you don't want to bother with the gallery or mirrored wraps unless you plan to possibly remove it from the frame at some point in the future.
To further enhance your canvas, you can select from over 400 frames we have available, but typically, most customers choose what is called a float frame. (See photo below)
There is about a 1/4" gap between the canvas and the float frame and this gives it a nice reveal all around. Currently, we have 3 colour selections available, white, black and a dark wood grain.
