How do you stretch a frame?

Other companies offer machine-led canvas stretching, but we think that the human touch is better. We hand-stretch all of our canvas to provide you with high quality photo prints.

What type of wood is used for the frame?

Canvas Press uses Poplar wood sourced from US Mills to make their stretcher bars. Poplar wood is more dense and helps preventing sagging or warping over time. This strong wood can hold any size canvas firmly, and the rounded edges keep the canvas in place. Canvas Press uses only premium materials with its canvases.

What type of canvas do we use for printing?

We print your photos on a high-quality, poly-cotton blended canvas. Our canvas has a slight texture that gives your photos an artsy feel and the look of a museum-quality print.

Many companies claim to use a 100% cotton canvas material, which we think is not the right material to last a long time. Here’s why:

• Cotton is termed as a breathable material, which means it is prone to ripping and getting worn quickly. Durability is not cotton’s biggest strength, whereas polyester’s elastic traits make it more durable as a canvas material and gives it that extra stretch.
• Because 100% polyester can get sticky with any kind of perspiration brought on it, using just polyester canvas would give the photos a cheap printed plastic look.
• 100% cotton canvas is expensive and requires high maintenance, while 100% polyester canvas is cheap but doesn’t enhance pictures very well.
• To get the best of both worlds, we combine polyester and cotton to make the canvas wrinkle-free, lightweight, and low-maintenance.

We work with the latest Epson Fine-Art printers and inks as well as custom color calibrations for all of our medias to produce consistent results.
