Printing photos on canvas has become one of the most popular ways to show off your favourite images, and canvas prints are a must have décor accessory, but what photos work best?
Choosing the right photo is important to get the best results. Whether your photographic image is a scenic, portrait or still-life, here are a few basic tips to follow.
Abstract art is one of the most popular searches in our Canvas Art Gallery, which contains thousands of abstract art images contributed from a wide range of artists. Abstract canvas prints are all made to order and can be printed at almost any size from 40cm x 50cm up to a massive 200cm x 100cm.
Customer feedback and suggestions is extremely important to us, which is why we’ve just added a new frame size to our canvas printing service. We’re continue to use our chunky 5cm thick frames by default but we can also stretch your canvas over a 2.5cm frame on request.
MDF Block Mounts are a great way to display your photos or artwork. We’ve added the even thicker 25mm option to our existing 12mm and 18mm MDF blocks. We’ll still use 18mm as the default option but if you’d like to add extra depth and dimension then all you have to do is request the 25mm block when you place your order.
Canvas Gallery Wraps are popular in art galleries, offices or in the home. Your photo or artwork can be gallery-wrapped so that some of your image is printed around the sides of the frame to add extra depth and dimension. Canvas prints are stretched over 5cm x 5cm thick Redwood frame, which is individually hand made for every print.
When choosing the right photo for you canvas make sure the subject is clear and will fit the size you’ve chosen. As we use 5cm thick frames it means that 5cm on all sides of your image will be gallery-wrapped around the sides of the frame. For example to get a 50cm x 40cm canvas, your image will be printed at 60cm x 50cm to allow for 5cm on all fours sides to be gallery-wrapped around the frame.
With the range of websites offering canvases increasing, choosing the best quality print has become difficult.
Last year we supplied Digital Camera Magazine with a 50x50cm gallery-wrapped stretched canvas for review, where it was also compared against other manufacturer’s canvases. We were delighted by the magazine comments and they were impressed by our high standard of finish, colour rendition and overall image quality. Click here to read the review

If you’re not sure whether your photo is suitable to be printed as a canvas print or block mounted, then email it to us for a free photo consultation. We’ll check your photo or artwork to find out how much it can be enlarged by without losing any quality, and we’ll also send you a list of possible print sizes for your photo.
When printing on canvas you have the option of having it gallery-wrapped so that some of your photo will be printed around the sides of the frame. This creates a fantastic finish, but as our frames are 5cm x 5cm thick it means that 5cm of your image on all four sides won’t be visible head on. If you’re interested in this we will send a proof highlighting exactly how much of your photo would be gallery-wrapped around the frame.
