Canvas print
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A canvas print (also known as a stretched canvas) is an image printed onto canvas, which is then stretched, framed and displayed.
[edit] Description
Reproductions of original artwork have been printed on canvas for many decades using offset printing. Since the 1990s canvas print has been associated with either dye sublimation or inkjet printers (sometimes sold under the names Repligraph and Giclée respectively). With these printers artists and photographers can print their works directly on canvas stock as limited run reproductions.
[edit] Display methods
After the image is printed, the canvas is trimmed to size and glued or stapled to traditional stretcher bars or a wooden panel and displayed in a frame or as a gallery wrap. Some artists will paint on top of the printed image to create a more individual image.
