When it comes to producing artwork or photographs for the purpose of hanging, there are a few ways to get the job done properly, though the primary method is usually paper or canvas. While many are quick to go to paper, there are several disadvantages. For example when you print on paper, you may have a high quality image that preserves the spirit and details of the original, but it will not fill the entire space. In addition to that, it will be far heavier when you frame it. Canvas is another great choice and there are plenty of different benefits for you to consider. Let’s talk about some of the benefits of using canvas for your next set of prints.
The Benefits of Canvas Occupied Space — We mentioned in the previous paragraph that paper prints do not occupy the entire surface of the print, which is not a problem when it comes to canvas print options. Digital photos printed on canvas fill the entirety of the surface, which is then wrapped over stretcher bars, giving a continuation of the image on all sides. This gives them a sort of three-dimensional feel that you would be hard pressed to find in a basic paper print. Non-Lasting Impressions – One of the problems with canvas in the past has been that the spreader bars would cause impressions on the material, permanently damaging the aesthetic. Custom spreader bars however can reduce impressions caused to fine art on canvas, especially during shipping.
Beyond Borders
Canvas prints do not have borders or mats unless you add them, giving you a much more interesting looking aesthetic for your wall. These are a few of the most obvious advantages, but you should also note that having canvas prints gives you more of a vintage ‘painted’ effect for your artwork. In addition to that, canvas prints can be virtually any size, even more than eighty inches. If you want something easier to handle, you can split your canvas painting into multiple panels to give a unified visual effect.
Finally, while some say that the canvas material draws attention away from the image, it is far more beneficial than you might realize. In addition to being lightweight (you won’t need to find a stud to hang your photo from), you will find that the material is moisture resistant. This means that you can actually hang your prints in high humidity areas, for example, the bathroom, or even in areas that are simply screened in rather than sealed off from the outside world. The benefits of using canvas are virtually endless, and with that being the case, now would be the time to start looking into them and making sure that you are ready to make the jump from basic paper prints all the way to the superior canvas model. Our prints on canvas have an amazing vintage look, and a way of lasting nearly forever. Don’t pass them up just because they sound different!
