We have invested in the technology required to ensure that our Canvas Prints are the ultimate quality available.
The material used is 350gm polycotton canvas. We use solvent based inks to ensure print colour stability for an extended period. Indeed we are so confident in the longevity of our Canvas Prints that we offer a lifetime (75 years +) guarantee against fade.
Our frames are 44mm deep kiln dried redwood produced from FSC forests. Canvas is stretched to optimum tension to completely obviate the need for later re-tensioning.
Sizes Available
Our unique production system means we are able to produce Canvas Prints of any size, from a minimum of 20cm in either direction, to a maximum of 150cm, again in either direction. If your requirement is for a print outside these parameters please request a quote.
In addition, for any size, you may request that the image spans across a number of prints. Simply order a number of the same size prints and note the span required - vertical, horizontal, square etc.
Please Note: Unless advised otherwise we will design your spanning prints with a 50mm gap.
Edge Detail
Printed Canvas extends around the sides of the frame. This means that the image can either continue to bleed or be mirrored depending on the subject matter. Alternatively we can leave the sides unprinted (white) or print the sides any other colour - see below. There is no cost difference whichever edge is chosen.
Hanging
Our prints are provided with easy hang fittings which allow the print to be mounted completely flush to the wall.

- Please allow 3mm bleed on all sides of your artwork.
- Allow a 5mm inner margin for the important text and pictures
- If possible, convert RGB Colours to CMYK within your artwork files.
