Canvas Printing
Plan the visible image, wrapped edges and framing before printing your photo or artwork
About This Service
Canvas printing needs two separate size decisions: the picture visible from the front and the material used around its edges. A stretched canvas may use image continuation, a mirrored edge or a plain border; agree the treatment before cropping the original. A 3:2 photograph placed into a square cannot keep both its full composition and edge-to-edge coverage without a change: choose cropping or a border. Send the original file and intended wall dimensions so the print size, canvas, stretching and frame can be specified together.
Why Choose Us
Keep the subject visible
Mark faces, text and artwork details that must stay on the front. Edge wrapping should not move those elements onto the sides.
Compare proportions
Choose the wall format first, then review a crop. Adding pixels or changing a resolution label cannot recover detail missing from the original photograph.
Agree the edge finish
Gallery wrap describes how canvas continues around a stretcher. Confirm the edge artwork and stretcher depth before preparing the final file.
Choose a delivered form
A rolled print, stretched canvas and decorative outer frame are different deliverables. Specify which is needed and whether hanging hardware is included.
Check colour and texture
A screen and textured canvas show an image differently. Identify critical colours and agree any correction or proofing work and its cost.
Plan the display location
Describe direct light, moisture and cleaning conditions. Suitability and care depend on the actual canvas, ink and finish rather than a universal lifespan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the canvas material?
Compare the available canvas texture and surface with the image and intended location. Cotton or polyester content alone does not establish colour accuracy, moisture resistance or lifespan; confirm the chosen product.
What is the difference between stretching and framing?
Stretching holds the canvas over a supporting stretcher. A decorative outer frame is an additional item. State whether you need a rolled print, a stretched piece or both stretching and an outer frame.
Which size should I order?
Measure the available wall area and choose portrait, landscape, square or panoramic proportions. Confirm production size and frame availability before finalizing the crop; a different ratio can remove part of the image.
What image resolution is needed?
Send the original file rather than a screenshot or a messenger-compressed copy. Assess pixel dimensions at the planned print size and viewing distance. Agree the front image and edge allowance before the final file check.
Is colour correction or hanging included?
Specify the editing, stretching, outer frame, hanging hardware and delivery you need. Their availability, cost and timing should be stated in the quotation rather than assumed from the canvas-printing price.
