Canvas Print – stretched on a 20mm or 40mm stretcher frame
The good old days:
Available from Studio22 for over 20 years, the canvas has been through a few changes. The early canvas was created from a genuine photographic print (the good old chemical process). The thin top layer of the photograph was removed with great skill and placed over a sheet of canvas. This went through a bonding process and once dry, the print was coated and stretched or framed.

Canvas of the future:
Today, the print is produced on a high-end ink printer using archival photo inks to produce the photographic quality print directly on canvas material which has been specially designed to abort and retain the photo inks in fine detail. This material is trimmed and coated multiple times with a protective film. The protective film not only acts as a water resistant surface, it also adds UV protection to further delay the aging process (The Ultra Violet light is the leading cause of fading prints).
All our canvas prints are produced using only genuine Epson archival inks and Swiss-made canvas material.
