Photo to canvas prints, if manufactured correctly, should last a lifetime. Normal photos fade over time and photos printed onto photo paper have an even shorter lifespan. Taking adequate care of your photo canvas print will ensure you print will remain vibrant, fresh and damage-free. This is a list of the 5 most important considerations in caring for your canvas print.
- Manufacturer – Of course we are going to be biased, but we believe our canvas prints are the best in the business. We ensure that every customer is satisfied and are so committed to customer satisfaction that we offer a 100% no-quibble guarantee. Beware of inferior manufacturers, who may offer canvases printed onto a canvas/poly composite. This material is cheaper and will not last as long as 100% cotton canvas. We only use manufacturers own ink with our printers. Compatible ink is available, but again this will not last as long as genuine manufacturers ink. The wooden frame is very important in the lifespan of your canvas print. We only use genuine stretcher frames which are specially manufactured for stretching canvas. Some manufacturers use plain wood with mitred corners. These frames will eventually deteriorate due to the stresses imposed with the stretched canvas.
- Location – When hanging your canvas print avoid areas where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. UV rays will cause your canvas print to fade over time. We now coat every canvas with a special UV, fade and scratch resistant coating which will add more life to your canvas, but we would still recommend avoiding direct sunlight. Sources of heat will also cause damage to the wooden frame, so avoid hanging your canvas print over fireplaces or radiators.
- Atmosphere – Ensure you hang your canvas print in a dry atmosphere. Too much moisture will cause your canvas to absorb water , which will lead to sagging and distortion. This doesn’t mean you can’t hang a canvas print in your bathroom. You just need to be careful that the atmosphere is not too damp or humid.
- Cleaning – Canvas prints do not need to be cleaned any more regularly than any other item of furniture in your home. However it will need to be cleaned carefully to prevent damage. Dust your canvas print using a dry cloth or small brush. Do not run too hard, but you can use a damp cloth that has been thoroughly wrung out if your canvas has been coated with our special coating.
- Storing – If you intend to move or store your canvas ensure that it is carefully wrapped to prevent damage. For transport we wrap every canvas in brown paper then bubble wrap. When storing your canvas it is better to be left upright to prevent anything heavy being placed on top of it. If over time your canvas looses it tightness and begins to sag then by gently hammering the corner wedges the canvas will return to its original tightness.
Canvas prints make a wonderful addition to any home, and if cared for correctly should continue to give pleasure for many, many years.
Want to know if your photo will be suitable for a canvas print? We can show you. Our unique software calculates the amount of pixels in your photo and determines the maximum size of canvas print. Pixels (short for picture element) are tiny dots which make up every digital image. The amount of pixels in an image will determine how much the image can be enlarged without losing it’s clarity. You can upload your photos here and our canvas creation page will show the maximum canvas size using your image.
Our software calculates the amount of pixels your image has while it is being uploaded. We already know what the minimum amount of pixels are required to create each of our canvases, so we can limit the choice of canvas sizes to ones that will produce perfect prints.
We also check every photo for focus clarity before printing. Unfortunatley no matter how many pixels your image has, if it is out-of-focus, the canvas will be out-of-focus. We have specialised software which can correct minor issues but if we feel that the image is unsuitable we will contact you.
If you would like our opinion on an image you can email it to us at sales@extraprints.com and we will advise if it is suitable for a canvas print
