What comprises of Canvas Prints?

Traditionally, the canvas is made of hemp as it makes it more reliable and more durable. Nowadays, materials like cotton and synthetic materials like polyester have replaced hemp. The content of the canvas print determines how the final image will come out. As cotton absorbs the colour, the pictures on a cotton-based canvas last long. Whereas, in the case of polyester, the ink remains on the surface and does not get absorbed—this way, synthetic canvas imprint provides more vivid and bright prints. The latter is also more affordable. Therefore, you can choose what type of canvas composition is more suitable for you. One can be flexible with the choices. Adding canvas prints to your household will provide a unique look to it. These prints get adjusted easily with other decorations at your house. They are easy to handle, lightweight, and pocket friendly.

Comparing Canvas Prints with other options

Framed Photograph: Many people have other options in mind before getting a print made. One such option is a framed photograph. This option is popular because it is custom made, but the picture inside is removable. You can also replace the image with another one. Here, you can also customize the photo frames. The frames are available in several colours or designs. You can also customize one according to the colour on the walls of your room. Else, you can match the frame with the interiors of your house.

Acrylic Print: Another popular option that a lot of artists use is Acrylic print. This style of engraving differs from canvas print in terms of texture and material. The artist first makes the copy on a photo paper. Then, this print gets transferred on a sheet or pixel glass. The print type is more massive than the canvas print style, and the latter also has a more elegant look.

Metal Print: As the name suggests, you can do this style of printing on a metal base. Usually, aluminium is the metal that the artists use.

Metal being durable, this type of print does not break easily and provides a smooth surface to the picture. Also, metal prints will cost you more as compared to canvas.
