              Canvas Printing Service: Bringing Your Images to Life

              Canvas printing has become a popular way to display photographs and artwork. With a canvas print, you can turn your digital images into beautiful, high-quality prints that are perfect for home decor or gifting. In this article, we’ll explore the power of canvas printing, its use cases, expert tips, and frequently asked questions.

              The Power of Canvas Printing

              Canvas prints offer several advantages over traditional photo prints. First and foremost, canvas prints have a unique texture that gives your images a tactile, three-dimensional feel. Additionally, canvas prints are durable and long-lasting, making them a great investment for your home or business.

              Canvas prints also offer a variety of size options, ranging from small desk prints to large wall art. You can choose from a variety of canvas materials, including cotton and polyester blends, to suit your desired look and budget.

              Use Cases

              Canvas prints are a versatile medium that can be used in a variety of ways. Here are some common use cases for canvas prints:

              • Home decor: A canvas print can be a beautiful addition to any room in your home. Choose an image that complements your decor and select a size that fits your space.
              • Gifts: Canvas prints make great gifts for birthdays, holidays, or other special occasions. Consider giving a canvas print of a favorite family photo or a beautiful landscape.
              • Business decor: Canvas prints can add a touch of sophistication to your office or business. Use canvas prints to display your company’s branding or showcase your products or services.

              Expert Tips

              Here are some expert tips for creating beautiful canvas prints:

              • Choose high-resolution images: To ensure your canvas print looks sharp and detailed, choose high-resolution images with a minimum of 300 DPI.
              • Select the right canvas material: The type of canvas material you choose can have a big impact on the look and feel of your print. A cotton blend canvas will have a softer, more natural texture, while a polyester blend canvas will have a smoother, more consistent finish.
              • Consider the wrap: When ordering a canvas print, you’ll have the option to choose how the edges are wrapped. A standard wrap will continue the image around the edges, while a mirror wrap will reflect the edges of the image for a seamless look.

              What is CMYK?

              In offset printing, the standard color mode used in CMYK. CMYK, or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black represent the four process colours in this mode. When you are creating your files, be sure to check the color mode as programs like Photoshop by default use RBG color, not CMYK. CMYK may look more dull on a computer screen than RGB; more noticeable in large solid color areas.

              Accepted File Formats

              We require industry standard formats for all uploaded files. We keep quality in mind when we print every job. We accept the following file formats: TIF – JPG – PDF – EPS – PSD. We accept CorelDraw, Pagemaker & Quark or similar files by converting them to industry standard graphic formats like JPG, TIF or PDF.

              Rich Black vs 100% Black

              Large black areas or fonts bigger than 36 points should use Rich Black which stops areas appearing gray. Rich Black is created with 30% Cyan, 30% Magenta, 30% Yellow, 100% Black. This setup will keep black areas looking rich and bold. For best results with regular body text, do not use Rich Black.

              FAQs

              When printing, 300 PPI is the best print resolution for digital printers. The design of a file with a resolution below 300 PPI will result in blurring and pixelization. On the other hand, you should not design with a resolution higher than 300 PPI. As far as the eye can see, there will be no difference in print quality. It will also make your file much larger (increase file upload/transfer time).

              We always recommend 300 PPI drawings to print, but we also know that sometimes you do not have the ability to edit your drawings. If you cannot print your files with a resolution of 300 PPI, you will have to take some measures to ensure that a lower resolution works for you.

              We recommend that you set the resolution in your graphics editor (i.e. Photoshop) to 300 PPI before you start drawing your file. Increasing the resolution after the start will still result in blurring/pixelation.

              All the work is checked by our team before printing. If we have any problems with the files, we will contact you and advise you how to change the format. Please note that conversion of both color and size mode will be done automatically without prior information.

              During the analysis of the illustrations, we check.

              – if the files are presented in one of the accepted formats (PDF, JPG, TIFF, EPS or PS). – if the number of pages is correct – if the file supplied is greyscale (only if you have ordered a color print) – if the file is the right size (otherwise we will scale your work to the desired size, however, this may result in a reduction in resolution. No additional bleeding will be added to the process either). – if the drill lines have been specified – if the appropriate fonts have been incorporated into the file.

              To ensure that there are no white areas on the printed product, all files submitted should have a 2mm bleed on each side. This means that your design (both images and graphics) should always be 2mm larger than the actual print format. Failure to do so may result in slight variations, resulting in white margins. To ensure that the fonts and essential elements of your drawing are visible, place them at least 3mm away from the final format (not including bleeding) and do not use edges as edges in layouts.

              Optional: – If you are submitting data for printing in an open format, the bleed should be 4mm on each side (e.g. A4 size including bleed should be 301×214mm). – If you are submitting files for presentation folders, banners, monthly calendars, packaging or any other promotional technology products, please prepare a file with 3mm bleed on each side – Envelopes should be supplied with a 1mm bleed. – The textile elastic frames must be bled 15mm.

              If you need more information, please consult our artwork instructions.

              You can upload files in the following formats: JPG, PDF, EPS, TIFF, PS (PostScript)

              Make sure that your PDF file is saved directly from your graphics program in standard PDF/X format (PDF/X3 or PDF/X1a). To avoid problems with layers and transparencies during the printing process, it is recommended to use the “1.3 compatibility” setting when saving artworks.

              If you are sending TIFF files, be sure to reduce the number of layers to one.

              To avoid problems with color variation or printed image, please do not use pre-separated data from DCS EPS.
