Reproductions of original artwork have been printed on canvas for many decades using offset printing. Since the 1990s canvas print has been associated with either dye sublimation or inkjet printers (specifically those using archival pigment ink). With these printers artists and photographers can print their works directly on canvas stock as limited run reproductions. High quality prints using the inkjet method may also be referred to as a Giclée print (pronounced "zhee-clay").

After the image is printed, the canvas is trimmed to size and glued or stapled to traditional stretcher bars or a wooden panel and displayed in a frame or as a gallery wrap which is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides (stretcher bars or strainer bars) and is secured to the back of the wooden frame.

Canvas Art Prints

We use the most up to date printing technology and the highest specification materials so that our canvasses conform to modern gallery standards and last a lifetime.

The photograph is printed onto traditional artists 100% cotton canvas with UV inks that are guaranteed fade resistant for 75 years. Our state of the art printing process ensures both vibrancy of colour and fine-point detail. We also add a low vapour emitting acrylic coating to protect against scratches. The canvas is professionally stretched and stapled to the back of a chunky 30mm deep, handmade wooden box frame. The wood we use for our canvas frames is bought from sustainable forests which help to protect our environment. The staples are covered and neatly finished with professional framing tape.
