Canvas Prints...

Typically, we keep as standard two types of fine art canvas:

  1. Hahnemühle Fine Art Daguerre Canvas with a weight of 400 gsm and made of Poly-Cotton. This Daguerre Canvas has a bright white surface and offers a fine surface texture structure which is particularly suited for fine art photo printing. Its bright white point ensures clear fresh colours and contrasts for black and white reproductions. It offers maximum ageing resistance and guarantees an extremely large colour gamut and high colour density.
  2. Instant Dry Canvas WR 350 Satin – 350 gsm - a single side satin coated Artistic Canvas designed for high quality graphic-art applications on inkjet plotters and printers.

We apply two coats of lacquer to provide better water protection, scratch resistance and long term quality.

You can choose to have canvas prints unframed, framed stretched - box canvas print, or a multi-panel print.

Unframed Canvas Prints...

We print the image directly on to the canvas and then lacquer the surface. Unframed canvas prints are provided with a 70mm white space around the image to enable you to have it stretched yourself.

Then when perfectly dry, the canvas is rolled and placed in a strong cardboard tube for shipping.

Stretched – Box Canvas Prints...

The canvas print is stretched over a custom-made wooden frame to create a box canvas ready for you to hang. The image can be supplied wrapped around the edge of the stretcher bars or left with a white canvas colour around the frame edge.

For box canvas print frames up to sizes A2 (420 x 594mm, 16.5' x 23.4') we use 22 mm stretcher bars; for sizes 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 interior corners 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.

Multi-panel Box Canvas Prints...

Multi-panel box canvas prints are artworks that divided into sections that when hung on your wall next to each other, make up one large picture. Multi panel canvas prints can be produced in two (a 'Diptych'),  three (a Triptych) and four (a Quadtych) segments. 

In this case we divide the image accordingly using software and print the two, three or four elements separately on to canvas. We then varnish and separately stretch the canvases over frames.

Triptychs were often used as an altar-piece in a church. Traditionally two of the panels were attached to the central one by hinges and folded over to show different paintings on the back.
