[edit] not the same as a stretched canvas

While a canvas print may in fact be "a kind of" stretched canvas, I think this opening statement is misleading because a canvas print may or may not be stretched on a frame, whereas a "stretched canvas" is canvas stretched over stretcher boards; the conventional inference is that the canvas is not painted, but it may be -- although a painted canvas is more often called a "painting". The relatively new technology of printing onto canvas is rightly distinguished from the traditional connotation of 'a canvas' and as such, "stretched canvas print" would be a more accurate term for what the previous writer seems to have been describing. While this is probably the more usual state of a printed canvas product, it is not the definitive state. Suzensez (talk) 14:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
