Frequently Asked Questions
What material is used for digital canvas prints?
Several varieties of print media can be used on our canvas printing machines. They range from cotton, polyester or blended fabrics to canvas-effect vinyl. Canvas-effect vinyl is similar to standard printable vinyl but made with a canvas-style texture.
Whichever material you choose for your canvas printing, be sure to consult your media suppliers and shop around to find the media that best suits your needs.
What resolution is needed to print on canvas?
For canvas printing, a resolution of 150 to 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) at a 1:1 scale is ideal.
Generally, anything above 300 DPI is usually unnecessary as the canvas has a naturally textured surface which softens details. Anything below 150 DPI is also unnecessary as it requires a greater viewing distance to look sharp.
Is a flatbed or roll-to-roll canvas printer best?
Roll-to-roll canvas printers are the industry standard for canvas printing. They work similarly to desktop printers, where continuous material is unwound from a roll and fed through the device. Roll-to-roll printers are especially ideal for producing high volumes of canvas art that can be easily transported in compact tubes.
UV flatbed printers are great for canvas printing as well, as they are capable of printing directly on thicker 3D objects such as wooden frames. They are perfect for printing on multiple pre-cut items simultaneously to produce "ready to hang" artwork.
Can I print on a stretched canvas?
Yes, you can buy pre-stretched canvases in a variety of sizes and print directly onto them using one of our flatbed canvas printers. You may wish to mask the sides to ensure the print is finished with a clean edge.
Is it difficult to stretch a canvas?
Stretching canvas is a skill that requires practice, but it isn't difficult. With a little perseverance, it's relatively easy to stretch a canvas around a frame, securing it in place with staples.
Alternatively, you can outsource your canvas stretching to other companies that provide this service. Keep in mind, however, that while learning this skill yourself may take some time, it's generally much more cost effective in the long run.
