Quality Canvas Printing

Producing quality canvas prints requires getting a combination of factors right.You have to use the best canvas, quality stretchers, great inks and professional large format printers.

Canvas

Our Canvas prints are made to last. We use the finest available pure cotton matt 340 gm canvas. This canvas allows your image to presented in the best possible way with a fine canvas texture and vivid colour. It is also very strong and flexible allowing for taut stretching without the image breaking up or being distorted.

Stretcher bars

These are stretched around 3.4 cm deep precision made pine stretchers to create a solid and lasting base.This is sustainable softwood not rain forest hardwood which is laminated and wont warp. These stretcher bars are all adjustable to add tension to the canvas in future if this is required. You should not buy stretchers without this facility since without this if the canvas sags there is nothing you can do with it except have it re stretched.

Colours

The ink set you use determines how fine the print will be. Epson have developed the ultrachrome ink set specifically for this type of fine art printing and it has the full gamut of colours produced from 8 inks. This has three levels of black to give depth and subtly to tones and shadows and five other colours to allow for millions of possible colours to be produced. The inks are also very durable and light fast in industry standard tests they have shown they will not fade in normal indoor lighting conditions for at least 75 years.

Printing

Our Epson Printers can print a wide range of images from the tiny to the huge. We print up to 44 inches in width and as long as you like. So in theory we could cover an entire room but in meter wide strips. In practice most peoples needs can be met with prints up to 100 by 200 cm's. You need a lot of free wall space to need something much bigger. Also to print at sizes above this requires some seriously large digital files
