Printing your photos on canvas is only half the job of creating canvas prints of your pictures. Your completed canvas photo print then needs to be professionally mounted and stretched to ensure you get the possible outcome.

Stretching the canvas print is an art form in itself and requires experience to get absolutely right. To do this we use ‘The Stretcher’, which is a special frame we use to keep your canvas taught, which is essential to preserve your image. The stretcher frame is made from 4cm wood that has been kiln dried.

Stretcher frames are the best way to mount canvas prints as they allow you to modify the frame afterwards should you wish to do so. You may want to frame your canvas print, remount or even remove it entirely. The stretcher frame allows this without any risk to the canvas.

It is imperative that canvas prints are framed in this way as canvas reacts differently to changes in location, heat, humidity etc; therefore you need to be able to readjust the frame to suit the location. Some canvas printers will frame your canvas in a different way, possibly even sticking your canvas print to the frame. You should avoid this as it will have a detrimental affect to your canvas
