Canvas Vancouver

Whether you want to show off a family vacation or a timeline of school photos, canvas prints are an eye-catching way to display your favorite photos. Not only do they liven up any space, but they are also an artistic way to update a space.  A canvas print, not to be confused with a canvas painting, is an image that is printed onto a canvas by an inkjet printer. After printing, the canvas is stretched over a frame. Some people opt for an unframed border while others prefer framed canvas prints. To create an unframed canvas print, many use the gallery packaging technique. During this process, the canvas is wrapped around the bars of the stretcher and attached to the frame.There is a common confusion between mounted prints, acrylic prints, and canvas prints. A mounted print is a print on paper that is glued to a carrier plate. The focus of this print is on receiving the photo and preparing it for framing or hanging on a wall.An acrylic print takes an image printed on photo paper. The picture is then placed between acrylic sheets, often referred to as plexiglass. When comparing the three types of prints, canvas prints have an artistic feel. This is because they are similar in appearance to oil and acrylic paints.    

  

What is the canvas made of?

Canvas is a strong and durable fabric made from hemp. In modern times, cotton and linen have replaced hemp. Most of the canvas prints you buy for the home use cotton or polyester. The main difference between the two is color accuracy. Color penetrates the cotton fiber fabric and remains on the surface of the synthetic polyester strands. Because of this, polyester prints are more vivid and cotton prints are more durable. So which one is better? It depends what you are looking for. Cotton prints are considered by many to be of higher quality and closer to what you would find in a museum. Polyester is the cheapest option, however, and it also produces eye-catching, colorful prints.
