All of our canvases are printed on a 390 gsm water resistant bright white polycotton canvas with a
pronounced textured surface that is good for colour reproductions. The canvas is suited for
non-framed or framed artistic and portraiture reproductions.
You have options on how you would like your canvas picture stretched, and these will determine
whether the canvas will be supplied in a frame or as a ready to hang canvas. The easiest way to
understand and demonstrate the different options is to upload an image and select the different
styles. As the selection changes, look at how the visualisation on the right-hand side changes.
Stretching Options
- Stretched with White Edges - Your canvas will be stretched around a
2cm deep internal stretcher bar assembly. The printed image will just bleed around the edges by
a few millimetres each side, with the edge being blank white canvas.
- Stretched with Black Edges - Exactly as above but with the edges
being printed black.
- Stretched with Image Edges - With this option, your image will be
printed approximately 40mm larger than the canvas size so that 20mm of the image is wrapped
around the sides of the stretcher bars.
- Stretched with Framing in a Picture Frame - Your canvas will be
stretched and framed in picture frame in the traditional format. Selecting this option will mean
picture frame categories are available in the Frames tab, and you will need to select a frame.
- Stretched with Framing in a Floater Frame - Your canvas will be
stretched with image wrapped around the edges, and then framed in a modern style canvas floater
frame. Selecting this option will mean our floater frame range is available in the Frames tab,
and you will need to select one.
You also have the option to change the colourisation of the image to either Black and White, or
Sepia. Again, selecting this option will give you a better understanding of the differences and will
help you make the right decision.
