Canvas Prints

If you've taken a fantastic digital photograph why not display it well for everyone to see? Maybe it's a great landscape shot or a lovely portrait and would look wonderful printed on to a linen canvas print.

Canvas prints turn your photograph into a work of art.

Your image is printed onto canvas which is then stretched over a wooden frame. Because of this process you need to keep in mind that a couple of centimetres from every edge will be lost as the canvas actually wraps around the frame.

Here are what we believe to be the best websites that offer online canvas prints from your photographs:

Bags of Love (or photo-canvas.com which is the same company) is the winner of the Digital Photo Gold Award for their canvas prints. This is based on the type of printing, value for money and overall quality of the product. There are plenty of sizes to choose from and delivery is fast (same day delivery for standard sizes) and you can also choose one of their made-to-measure canvases. You can select the depth of the canvas, either 2.5 cm or 4.5 cm and they promise that your print won't fade over time.

 

Fruit Art is more a site aimed at photo-montage than canvas prints. Nevertheless, it delivers leading quality photo and canvas prints at competitive prices. The high quality comes about as they make use of 200 year non-fade inks in 12 colours rather than the conventional 4. So customers are happy, customers like Tom: "The canvases really exceeded my expectations and I will be using you again..."

Fruit Art also offer a range of portraiture and photo montage styles for something unique. All canvases and frames can be previewed live online. Canvases are waterproof, dust-proof and scratch proof thanks to the high end "satin matt"heat-seal now used as standard.

Print on to a choice of fabrics including heavy-duty waterproof canvas. Their large format printers use specially formulated inks and a technology to create continuous tones and smooth colour transitions. They have images guidelines for choosing your photo and information on how to care for your canvas print as well as a choice of photo effects which you can apply to your image before printing. A very good site.

Kodak Gallery have an option of giving your digital photo a brush stroke effect, so it really does look like a painting. But if you prefer to keep to the realistic image you can do that too. Five sizes to choose from. However, until you log in to this site you don't get very much information about their canvas prints products.

Canvas Inc "Canvasinc really appreaciates the beauty of art. So at Canvasinc they aim to make every digital print like no other. They make photo memories last from generation to next generation. Canvasinc preserves memory through photo." Worth a visit, I'd say.
