How to Print Photos on Canvas

The most common way to create photos on canvas is to use the Giclee printing method. Giclee is a French word that means to spray using a nozzle. The canvas is sealed with special uv protectors that will help the canvas last up to 100 years. Museums have begun using this art method for pictures hung in their galleries.

You can upload any picture you want to the company's website. They can be family photographs or travel photos. This makes a great gift for family and friends.

Editing your Photo on Canvas

Most companys offer special features for your photograph, such as black and white converting, sepia conversions, retouching, background replacement and special effect brushstrokes applied to the pictures. The photo can be edited on the computer before it is made into a photo canvas. You can change the colors, soften the picture, even clip it to change the look. There are also different styles you can choose from for your canvas art or photo on canvas. You could have a family photo made in the Andy Warhol style, a cartoon, or even make it look like a vintage oil painting. Each individual print is sent to the printer. This gives personal attention to the quality. There are many sizes the photo can be made into. The photo canvas can be as small as 8x10 or as large as 30x40.

Typical Pricing for Photo Canvas Prints

The prices of the photo canvas vary depending on the size of the canvas. The prices generally run from $11.95 for an unframed 8x10 to $94.94 for an unframed 30x40 canvas. If you choose to have the photo canvas framed the prices run from $49.95-4154.95. These prices do not include the shipping of the canvas art. The shipping generally runs from $9.95 to ship in the continental U.S. Shipping usually takes from 3-4 days. All of the businesses that offer this service, turning your regular photo into canvas art, provide a 100% guarantee.

In caring for your canvas art, do not place it in direct sunlight. Photos on canvas are very sensitive to sunlight. Only use a soft dust brush to clean it. Do not under any circumstances try to clean it with glass cleaner or water, this can severly damage your photo on canvas artwork.
