Canvas Printing - Digital Printing History

• Canvas printing is a term used to describe the
  combination of modern printing technology onto
  the archival material of canvas. It is a
  specialized process that turns digital artwork
  into traditional framed artwork. Following which
  is the digital process of producing artwork from
  photographic imagery or digital art to cotton
  canvas material which is then stretched over
  gallery framing bars. Some may even be wrapped
  around the frame, allowing the image to continue
  or bleed over the side edges of the print.
• Over the last few years canvas printing and
  cotton lawn inkjet fabric printing has been
  revolutionized by the introduction of digital
  online print providers. Things that were not
  possible in the past are readily available now.
  Even better, those features or techniques that
  used to drive up the cost and increase production
  time have now been dramatically reduced because
  of improved printing technology.

• The advantage of modern printing technology such
  as giclee to enhance and optimize the quality of
  the images or photographs provided. Giclee is the
  description given for fine art digital prints
  made on ink-jet printers. This process is the
  chosen application for quality print producers.
  The name originally applied to fine art prints
  created on IRIS printers in a process invented in
  the late 1980s but has since come to mean any
  high quality ink-jet print and is often used by
  canvas printing companies and print shops to
  produce quality prints.
• The quality of the materials like cotton lawn
  inkjet fabric used in will make a major
  difference to the printed image. Canvas material
  can come in varying styles, textures, thickness
  and weight. Digital inkjet material is normally
  available in matt, satin or gloss finishes. The
  style of the canvas material is down to personal
  taste but the coated satin and gloss material
  will offer an enhanced colour and brightness
  reproduction.

• The finish to any art or presentation product can
  make the difference from an average creation to a
  stunning piece of art. The contrast and colour of
  the printing is the visual importance which must
  be required but the finish of the art is what
  provides the difference between good and great
  decorative art.
• There are many styles of stretcher bars available
  on the market but aim for pine bars which are
  hinged. This allow the frames to expand after the
  canvas print has been mounted, this means if your
  canvas print ever goes saggy over time you can
  re-stretch it without having to take it off the
  frame.
