Demystifying Print and Surface Choices When Buying Art

Discover the Difference: Paper Prints vs. Canvas Prints for Your Space

If you're considering bringing one of my art prints into your home or office, you might be weighing the different options for prints.
Let me guide you through the unique qualities of three popular choices: print on paper, rolled canvas prints, and ready-to-hang stretched canvas art prints

Print on Paper:

This traditional option is perfect for those seeking crisp detail and a fine, archival-quality finish.
My paper prints have a smooth surface and a matte finish that enhances the sharpness and vibrancy of the artwork, making them ideal for framing and placing behind glass.
Paper prints are often the most affoardable & popular choice. The lightweight nature of paper prints also makes them easier to store and transport. I use archival quality inks, on a thinner, coated, cotton, fine art paper, which makes them easy to unroll when ready to hang.
I sign and title each print and they personally go through my hands before shipping them out.
When you buy a paper print from me, all you have to do is pop them in a frame of your choice and hang them up. Each print is trimmed exactly to the size mentioned so that they fit most, commercially available frames easily.

Rolled Canvas Print:

For those who want the textured, luxurious feel of canvas but prefer flexibility, a rolled canvas print is the ideal choice. These prints are shipped unframed and rolled in a mailing tube, allowing you to choose your own frame or stretch them on a mount. The texture of the canvas gives the artwork a more dynamic and tactile appearance, making it a great option for those who want to add a bit of artistic flair and versatility.
The printing process is different for rolled canvas as they require specialized, large printers, inks and poly canvas. The final prints are textural on canvas, true to depth and I varnish and protect each one by hand so that they last the test of time. I work with my production partner, here in Canada and everything is made using locally sourced materials of the highest quality. I also add an additional 2 inches extra around all the sides of these prints to make them easy to stretch and mount.

Ready-to-Hang Stretched Canvas Art Print:

If you want an effortless solution that’s ready to adorn your wall, a stretched canvas print is the way to go. This option involves printing the art on poly cotton canvas in archival inks and on specialized printers. Then, stretching the canvas over a wooden frame, creating a gallery-ready piece that doesn’t need additional framing. The textures of the finished piece, deep-set edges of the canvas offer a sleek, modern look that can instantly elevate the style of any room. Free from the glare of glass frames, the artwork stands out in true detail and depth at all times.
Ready to hang stretched canvas ship in a box and have all hanging hardware attached. I also hand varnish each piece in UV protecting varnish to ensure that the colors remain vibrant and stands the test of time. Stretched canvas are lighter on your walls and a turn key solution especially when looking for large sizes. The resulting pieces is almost an exact reproduction of my original paintings. I work with my production partner, here in Canada and everything is made using locally sourced materials of the highest quality so you can be assured that everything goes through my hands, including the shipping!
