E-Tip: Printing on Canvas- The On-Trend Choice

 

Something New for the New Year!
Canvas Printing for Fine-Art Reproductions


Try something new in the New Year: images on canvas!  Printing on canvas is the on-trend choice for fine-art reproductions because its weight and texture lends depth and complexity to all images, from watercolors to oils to photography.




Reproducing non-photographic art actually starts with taking a picture.  Set up the original piece for photographing, take a digital picture and, once you have an image you are satisfied with, upload it to us via AmericanFrame.com.  With our specialized printers, we’ll print the image on canvas, laminate it, stretch it and custom-frame in any size and any quantity. 


TIP: because a great print always starts with a great digital file, our staff photographer suggests using a quality SLR (single lens reflex) camera that can shoot at 50-55 mm, good lighting and proper camera positioning to avoid glare and “hot spots” on your image.  For additional information watch our video or contact our Photography department, MattM@AmericanFrame.com.

Printing on canvas is an ideal, affordable way for professional artists to produce reproductions for sale and to create displays for travel.  It is also a wonderful option for lending richness to photographic displays, such as travel photographs and family portraits.

Be confident--we use the finest quality canvas, a matte 20 mil poly-cotton blend Bulldog brand with a smooth, white, water-resistant surface.  Laminating is recommended for maximum UV protection and scratch resistance.  Laminate choices are UV matte for a soft finish and UV luster for sheen.  Stretch-style and mounting choices include standard, museum and gallery wrap.
