For the Art Prints on Canvas we use an Instant Dry Canvas WR 350 Satin - 350 g/m², which is a single side satin coated Artistic Canvas designed for high quality graphic-art applications on inkjet plotters and printers. With good colour brilliance and a bleached backside, it is especially suitable for reproductions of art and photos. Due to the natural cotton in the base material, the surface characteristic may vary slightly.

We apply two coats of lacquer to the canvas print to  provide improved water and scratch resistance and to guarantee longer term quality and protection.   

You can have your canvas prints rolled or framed stretched (a box canvas print).

Rolled Canvas Prints

We print the image directly on to the canvas and then lacquer the surface then, when perfectly dry, roll the print and place it in a strong cardboard tube for shipping. Rolled canvas prints are shipped with a 75mm white space around the image to enable you to have it stretched yourself.

Stretched Canvas – Box Canvas Prints

We print the image directly on to the canvas and then lacquer the surface. When dry, the canvas print is then carefully stretched over a custom-made wooden frame to create a box canvas ready for you to hang. The image is not wrapped around the edge of the stretcher bars; we use a sufficient margin to enable the image to be seen on the front of the frame leaving a white canvas colour around the frame edge. 

For box canvases up to A2 (420 x 594mm, 16.5' x 23.4') we use 22mm stretcher bars; for A1 (594 x 841mm/ 23.4' x 33') and above we incorporate a central crossbar to maintain long term structural integrity. Each frame includes expansion wedges at each corner so that the frame can be gently re-stretched to keep the canvas taut. We use warp-resistant wood to make the frames.

The largest standard framed stretched canvas print we produce is AO (841 x 1189mm/ 33' x 46.8'); please contact us if you have any special requirements.
