Canvas printing is a popular, cheap, but very effective way of decorating your home using your favourite images. Canvas prints are made from canvas stretched over a wood frame, which is then printed with an image of the customers choice using UV pigmentation ink. This particular type of ink prevents the canvas from fading due to damage caused by the sun. Finally, the canvas is hand varnished to protect it from general wear and tear and to aid portability if the owner wishes to move the canvas to a new location.
Photos on canvas make very popular personalised gifts, as they can be used to capture the memory of a special occasion such as a wedding, a birthday or an anniversary, or a family portrait. Photos on canvas look particularly attractive, as canvas printsare not only more durable and long lasting than standard flat framed prints, but they have a different appearance to them, making ordinary photographs into canvas artwork to enjoy in your own home.
Photos on canvas can also serve as reminders of places you have visited, or references to a hobby or an interest the owner has. Whatever the image is, photos on canvas are a highly effective and useful way to change the look of a room instantly, and will last much longer than regular framed photographs.
Canvas prints are also very popular outside of the home too, with many businesses choosing to use them as promotional tools emblazoned with the name of their company, or as decoration to brighten up office space. Canvas prints of contemporary art work or retro vintage style designs are also a very popular choice to add character and ambience to bars and restaurants without having to spend too much money.
Canvas printing services will offer a range of different images to choose from -if you do not already have one yourself-in a broad range of categories and themes. Canvas prints do not necessarily have to be consigned to a canvas frame, however; the images can also be printed onto deck chairs for a fun addition to the garden, or onto roller blinds to give small rooms instant artwork the moment the blinds are pulled down. Canvas prints on roller blinds reduce external light while being highly decorative, making them perfect for nurseries or rooms belonging to children who tend to wake up at the crack of dawn. An image of the night sky could be the perfect solution for those summer evenings when its still light outside or the blinds could be printed with favourite story book characters, or an underwater kingdom. There are so many possibilities with canvas printing, that all it takes to transform a room is a little imagination.
