Canvas Prints

Overview

Our Company started out printing on Canvas. We love the texture and image quality and the medium and it requires no external frame or glass. We believe for large prints, portraits, wedding pictures, animals, landscapes and photos with lots of textures, Canvas is the best choice.

Papers

We use the finest Canvas available from such Manufactures such as

• Hahnemuhle
• Canson
• Other Fine Art Canvas suppliers as necessary for avilability.

We prefer to offer OBA (Optical Brighteners) Free Canvas to avoid any long term “yellowing”. These papers are archival certified for 100+ years. Unless a certin canvas is specifically requested, we offer a heavy semi-gloss Canvas. The UV Spray educes reflections yet maintains a high dynamic range.

UV and Protecting Spray

Since we do not recommend putting a Canvas print behind glass, all our canvases are UV Sprayed with a special polymer coating.  After printing, the image is typically left to dry for 24 hours. Multiple coats are applied by hand using a HVLP spraying system where the thickness of the spraying coat can be controlled. The print is further left to dry before it is mounted.

Printers

Our printers are the finest professional Canon ink-jet printers available.  We have 44” printers using the latest Canon Print technology.   Of course we use only genuine Canon Inks.

ICC Profiles

While the ICC Profiles supplied by the Paper Manufactures for the specified printer are generally OK, they are not optimal. We use custom ICC Profiles professionally calibrated to our specific printer.

Printing Process

All prints, from 8×10 inches to 44 inches x10 feet, get individual attention.  They are all color corrected and optimized and for the size they will be printed. We look at each one and provide the corrections necessary to optimize the print.  If we have questions or concerns, we will contact you before we print.

Canvas Print Mounting

Though custom mounting and framing is available we typically offer our Canvas Prints as:

• Loose Prints: Printed and UV Sprayed on specified Canvas with no mounting. Delivered rolled. Loose Print Samples are available at discounted prices.
• Mounted Prints: Mounted on 1/8” or ¼” Sintra Board and can be any size, but not larger than 24×36. They are typically put into frames without glass.
• Gallery Wrapped Prints:  Are stretched on specially ordered stretcher bar stock that we cut to size and assembled into frames.  They are ¾”  or 1.5”  thickness depending on the size of the print or as specified by the customer. The joints are v-nailed, glued and for the larger sizes – screwed together.  Each frame is custom built for the image. After the imaged is stretched and stapled onto the frame, a finishing tape I applied to the back to hide the staples and create a clean look.  A coated copper wire is attached to the frame for easy hanging.
  • Note: we don’t charge any additional to stretch or mirror the sides of the image, thus the full image specified by the customer is on the front of the canvas gallery wrap with no clipping.
