The Wonders of Canvas Printing

Canvas is a fantastic material, which over the years has been used for a multitude of different applications. Made from cotton or flax, canvas is a strong fabric which is very resistant to wear and tear.  This lead canvas to be used for making sails in the early years as the wear and tear of life at sea. After its properties were discovered, canvas was used for much more than just sails for ships. Shoes, bags and clothing products have all been made from Canvas over the years due to its strength and resilience. But the main use of canvas of in recent years is as a material for artistic purposes.

Canvas was originally used for oil painting due to the sturdy nature of the material. With a few coats of primer to stop the paint causing the fabric to degrade, canvas has proved to be an invaluable substance for artists from all over the world.  One new and cool way to use canvas is to use a canvas as a medium to display photos. Canvas printing has become popular in recent times with many people using canvases due to their unique nature.

Canvas printing involves taking one of you photographs and getting it transferred onto a professional quality print canvas. It has a texture which isn’t like conventional photo paper which helps add character and a great finish to your photos which will pique the interest of anyone who sees it.
