How To Get Canvas Photo Prints

One of the latest ingenuities in photo printing today is rendering digital images on canvas. This turns the ordinary photos that you've taken into wonderful works of art, more worthy of framing and displaying on walls and desks compared to regular matte or glossy prints. Printing in canvas, though, will cost you a bit more than using the regular materials. But you can still get good quality canvas prints cheap if you take some practical steps in keeping your printing expenses to a minimum and get the best deals from suppliers.

First of all, you need to know that photos printed on traditional materials lose color after a decade or two. Photos on canvas can last about 5 times longer than the usual picture prints. So, in the long run, you'll get your money's worth with canvas.

If you're going to have your photos printed in a shop in a mall or somewhere, you need to bring your digital image file to the store. If you're ordering online, you just need to upload the file on the printing company's website or send it through e-mail. Whichever type of print shop you're going to, you need to make sure that each digital image you want printed is of high resolution. This will save you time and effort in driving to and from the shop or in uploading files repeatedly.

Checking the quality of image files you submit to the printing company will also spare you possible charges for extra services like retouching, resizing, and others. Be sure the photo doesn't have any red eyes and streaks and other specks. You might want to do any touch-up yourself as much as possible, instead of adding the adjustment cost to your total printing expenses. Another option is to go to a company that offers free touch-up services.

Ensuring the resolution and overall quality of each image file will eliminate the chance of you returning the prints and having them redone. This will ensure that you'll have quality prints that you'll use, without a dollar wasted.

To get the most out of printing photos on canvas, you need to check if the company you're ordering from is using ink and canvas that are archival grade. This is one of the major differences of printing on canvas from rendering on traditional photo paper.

Since, you'll most probably be displaying your canvas art, you need to frame it. Framing is generally expensive. But you can have the option of a "gallery wrap," which means the canvas will be stretched and have its ends wrapped around a wooden frame. This is cheaper than the other framing techniques and can even add uniqueness to your wall, which may be adorned with the usual framed décor.

These are some ideas on how you can get cheap canvas photo prints. Before you order or shell out money for your prints, call the supplier and confirm details, especially the ones mentioned above. Ask they have promotional offers, free delivery, and other special services you can get.
