Today's printmakers and manufacturers have the ability to digitally create original masterpieces directly on a canvas surface. The manufacturing process used to create these "canvas art prints" utilizes state of the art digital technologies to "print" the image directly onto the canvas surface. The process, which is described in greater detail below, is automated and therefore results with reproductions offering the rich appearance of canvas that paper prints cannot provide, at significantly lower costs and hand-painted reproductions. The ambiance of the canvas print allows the viewer to focus on the artwork image without the distraction of matting and glass typically used when framing paper prints. The canvas prints do not have glass (or Plexiglass), so you will not see the glare off the glass often caused by overhead and direct lighting.

How are Canvas Prints Made?

The process begins with a high-resolution electronic image. The image is digitally enhanced and once the image is ready, it is electronically transferred to our custom-designed manufacturing equipment. This equipment reads the electronic file with tremendous accuracy and creates the artwork by "spraying" millions of pigmented micro-droplets onto the finest grade artist cotton canvas available. The creation of each piece of artwork takes several hours and the resulting canvas art print has stunning color and clarity. The process is unique, but is most comparable to the GICLEE (zhee-clay) process used by some of the finest printmakers. The Giclee process sprays ink to create a stunning reproduction. The apparent resolution of the Giclee process offers the highest quality reproductions currently available.

Professionally Stretched Canvas

Our canvas prints (sizes 48” x 72") are provided on professionally stretched artist stretcher bars (a wooden support frame artwork). Artwork will be ready-to-hang right out of the box. "Stretching" canvas involves pulling the canvas over the stretcher bars (wooden support frame) and securing the canvas to the bars with staples while it is being stretched. The staples are secured to the back side of the bars in a Gallery Wrap style creating a finished appearance with the image entirely on the front.
