The question of what size photograph is needed for a canvas print gets asked all the time. And the answer to this is, erm… Well its not that easy im afraid.

Unfortunately there are many different variables involved when transferring a photograph onto canvas . A while back i would have said that you need a high megapixel camera but nowadays a photograph from a mobile phone can look amazing on a 40 x 20 inch canvas.

The fact is that you can take a really bad picture using the latest megapixel camera and get really good photos from 6 year old digital cameras. A simple rule of thumb is that when you download the picture to your PC take a look at the size of it by right clicking it with the mouse and selecting properties. The bigger the size in pixels (eg 2000 x 1000) and the bigger the size (ie 500k – 2meg or bigger) the better. Any picture that is over 500k should be fine for printing though.

If you still arent sure then just send me an email and i can advise wether it will look good printed on canvas and what kind of size might be best.

Canvas prints bring a new way to create a complete new look for your home or even office. Instead of repainting a wall, add some prints in any colour you wish to totally transform a room.

So what if your no good at photography? Well it doesnt matter. We can crop, resize, remove red eye, blur the background, remove it even. We can add the effects that photography studios charge a fortune for.

If you do not have a photo you like, then take a look on Google images or take a look at any of the stock photo and royalty free image websites that have great looking images ready to print.

So what size of print is best? Well, canvas prints are great for any room in the house and depending on the size of room. Go for a size from 10 x 8 up to any size you like. Bigger canvas prints generally look better in one of the main rooms of the house like living room or dining room areas.

If you look in any of the main shops you can find a big selection of canvas prints. Check the quality though, because often the print is just on paper that wont last long. Or it may be printed with ink that will fade.

Once you have decided to put a picture or photo onto canvas. The next question is how to wrap your picture. Wrapping is a term we use describing how your canvas is stretched and wrapped around the wooden frame. You have the option of 4 different ways to wrap the canvas. They are gallery wrap, mirror wrap, white wrap and colour wrap. Examples of the different kinds of wrap are shown below.

Gallery wrap is without doubt the most popular as it gives the 3D effect everyone loves. But it is not always suitable to wrap a photo. Be careful when choosing your photo and make sure that no important parts of the picture such as hands, eyes and feet get wrapped as it can look a little odd. As a guide you need to look at a 10% edging and image that wrapped around the side. Does it look as though it will work? If so it probably will work fine.

Mirror wrap is a good second option if gallery wrap is not suitable. Here we copy the edge section all 4 edges of the photo and use that for the sides. This gives a gallery wrap appearance but you do not lose any of the photo.

The white edge and coloured edge are self explanatory and you can choose any colour as an edge.

We are happy to crop your photos to remove unwanted areas and clean up any scratches etc. Just let us know what you would like after placing your order. We will send you a proof if needed before we print your canvas.

When your visitors see your canvas hanging on your wall, the usual response is…. Wow.

Having a focal point is an important aspect of a room. And having a stunning canvas print can create that focal point in style. Turning an otherwise boring room into an inviting one.

The usual Focal point is a TV set or a fireplace with seats and chairs around it. The only problem with a television is once you turn it off it becomes pretty boring. And if your fireplace isnt being used it also leaves a pretty empty feeling.

If this is how your room is looking then a redesign may be the answer using a stunning large canvas print.

Look for an area of wall that you imagine your canvas sitting on. Over the setee is a good place, but any bare area of wall is a candidate. If your lacking on wall space then downsize your canvas to a smaller size. On the other hand if you have a large area then maybe try one of our tri-canvas prints.

By displayed your canvas as a centre piece of the room rather than a tv set. Canvas creates a real stylish warmth to your room. And also makes for a conversation piece for your visitors and friends. You can look to colour co-ordinate, use photographs or art pieces. The sky really is the limit for your canvas prints.

Once you have a large canvas or several even if like most people, you are amazed at the look, feel and quality of the canvas prints. Once bitten it is sometimes hard to not want to cover every spare wall with a canvas.

However, the last thing you want is to see those great canvas prints deteriorate, so it is important that these amazing canvas prints are looked after and preserved for years to come.

One thing to try and remember is that your canvas prints dont hang on a wall that has lots of direct sunlight or have high humidity. But, i hear you say, arent they uv resistant and waterproof as well? They are, yes. But it still is not a very good idea to subject them to hours of sunshine or steam from the bathroom or they will over a period of time cause some damage.

Another place to try and avoid is the kitchen because lots of heat and smoke will affect the the canvas and possibly degridate the colours and sheen on your print. So avoid kitchens and bathrooms for longer life.

So where do you hang your canvas prints? Well anywhere else is fine but ideally find a wall that doesnt receive direct sunlight. Try to avoid extremes of temperature as well.

Canvas prints are very sturdy and well protected. If you were to put them in the kitchen or bathroom, they would still look good for a long time. But just treat them as you would other paintings or photos and show a little care.
