Canvas Prints make fantastic Christmas presents!

Canvas prints have now become the most popular form of artwork to decorate your home and put some colour on those blank walls.  You can so easily change the look of your room without completely redecorating – change the colour or theme just by changing the tired looking pictures and replacing them with eye-catching and vibrant canvas prints.

So what are canvas prints?

Original oil paintings (on canvas) from the old masters have been around for centuries but this relatively new concept of printing on canvas using wide-format printers was really only introduced in the 1990s.  With today’s technology the quality of these canvas prints – known as ‘giclée prints’ is almost as good as the original oil painting.  These printers use fade-resistant printer inks which mean that the canvas prints will last far longer than ordinary art prints but the greatest advantage is the ability to reproduce the original image in such detail regardless of size and maintain a high degree of accuracy in colour.  Hence – canvas prints – an affordable way of putting colourful canvas artwork on your walls.

Where can you find them?

Online shopping is the best way forward but there are a huge number of companies now supplying canvas prints so who to choose?  Many websites only offer ‘photos on canvas’ but there are a few digital printing companies that offer photographic gallery artwork as well. 

CanvasRus is a well established online company who have been creating beautiful canvas prints for many years.  They can put your own photos on canvas or create canvas prints from over 800 fantastic photographic images in their 20 themed galleries all available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.  All their canvas prints are printed on the highest quality canvas and then stretched by hand onto 50mm solid wooden stretchers.   All their canvas prints are fully laminated (completely free of charge – some companies charge for this service) enhancing the colours of the image and ensuring that the printed canvas has incredible durability.

Photos on Canvas

Or how about something more personal and memorable?  Choose your own favourite photo and have it made into a fantastic canvas print.  Everybody has one of those photos that gives you an ‘ahhh’ moment – well why hide it away?  Imagine how your loved one will feel when they see that special memory – whether the kids, pets, or on holiday, or even your own wedding – captured for ever on canvas. 

And it’s so easy to order!  Just upload your digital photo to the website, choose your size and colour (choice of colour, B&W or sepia), pay online and hey presto, it’s done.  Ordering takes only minutes, and delivery a few days – maybe a little longer during the Christmas period due to high demand!

But what if you simply have too many photos to choose from?  Then order a Canvas Collage from CanvasRus.  They have a unique online facility where you can upload all your photos and see your collage come alive on screen, so if you’re not happy with the way it looks, just choose another photo and upload a different one.  There are 3 different layouts available each in 4 different sizes so again a wide range to choose from. 

So don’t leave all those digital photos hibernating on your computer – start looking through them now and transform them into trendy Canvas Prints.

Many have ventured into the printing business that sometimes it’s not so hard to get an unreliable provider that’s only in for the money. With the big demand for commercial printing, it’s not surprising at all that many would want to try their hands on this particular niche.

But if you’re on the other side and you’re the one needing this particular printing service, how can you be sure that the commercial printer you send out your best print job to would give you the results you expect from their side? One way is you have the basics knowledge of commercial printing. You need to know the bare necessities so you can ask the right questions when you’re ready to bring your print requirements to your printing provider.

Film product labels are good for packages that get wet, like shampoo, etc. Product label helps to find out your product easy way. You can also find your label stamped with gold or silver foil for a fancy look of color with many types of label material.

So what do you need to know?

The first things you have to understand are the words associated with commercial printing. These are the jargons such as RGB and CMYK when doing your sticker printing, label printing and custom labels for example. Both are associated with colors and inks that are applied in your printing job.

RGB are for the colors red, green and blue which are used to print the primary colors in commercial printing. By the way, these colors are considered the major colors in commercial printing hence, they tend to be less costly than any other color combinations. On the other hand, CMYK are cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Black represents the letter ‘k’ as it stands for ‘key’, which means the key color in printing – black being the key color. Newer digital label printers are skilled of mixing seven colors for a truer color. Another way, asks for a printed proof of your product label before paying for a full print run. Ask if you can run a small batch so that you can see any color variation that is bound to happen. The variation shouldn’t be bad – just a shade lighter or darker is normal.

These are some of the basic terms for your commercial printer when you hiring a commercial printer to do the job for you. You need to know these basic fundaments for you to be able to ask the right questions that can give you the best results for your print job or business needs.
