Photos on canvas remain a very popular new home decoration in the UK. Over the last few years various companies have popped up offering to print your photos or artwork onto canvas. Some are excellent, others okay and some extremely poor quality. The companies with a long standing reputation and who have been in business for years are without doubt offering the best quality and service all round.

There is no doubt the end result can look fabulous with a variety of different options. Some companies charge for those options others provide it FREE. The canvas boom stemmed from artists looking to print their original artwork onto canvas as a limited print run. Before it was a choice of lithographic print which was expensive and meant you had to have large volume to make it viable financially.

Giclee printing changed or that and with inkjet technology improvements along came the printers who could print onto canvas direct from a high quality photographic digital image. At last artist could have limited editions print runs and see their works printed onto canvas at a fraction of the cost and also in small numbers. They could have from upwards of one print made from their original and was brilliant for thousands of artists all over the UK. The main difference between printing artist’s originals onto canvas and photos on canvas is the degree of experience and expertise. The process is basically the same but with artwork the printer needs to have a much higher degree of experience and understanding of colour. Particularly as artists are far more trained in spotting colour variation and tend to be more precise in their requirements; hence why fine art printers still remain a small group of experienced and specialist companies.

Digital printing has opened the doors to so many possibilities and one of the most popular is printing photos onto canvas. Whether that is one’s wedding photos, baby photos, holiday photos, portrait photos or professional photography. The canvas prints come in all shapes and sizes.

In fact you can do it all one line and the canvas prints are sent direct to you. Easy, quick and efficient.

Helpful Tips for Best Results: The main things to watch out for when printing your photos onto canvas online are:

1. Make sure your photo is at least 300pi and your camera is set at the highest resolution setting. Higher pixels mean better quality on the whole so make sure your photos are high resolution and at least 4mb.

2. Make sure your file sure jpeg or something similar compatible with the online service you use.

3. Make sure if you have a square photo that you choose a square size canvas print. If you have a landscape photo (rectangle) then you choose a landscape or rectangle size canvas print. This is very important. A square photo can be stretched onto a 12×24 size canvas print but it will look very odd. Check carefully your photos and the sizes you choose. Think about the shape you are choosing and what your photo is before you order or click the wrong size.

4. Also remember as you enlarge a photo it will have to be wrapped around the edge of the frame. So if you have photos with people or things close to the edge of the image, either choose an option suitable or remember it will be wrapped over.
