What Are Canvas Prints

For custom wall art to be properly displayed, a custom frame is needed. Different companies use a variety of materials to build these frames. Since frames are the backbone of every product, each frame is made with the highest-quality materials. This turns your photos into museum quality photos.

Common MDF Boards:

• Radius Edge MDF

• Common Size: 1-in x 2-in x 8-ft.

Disadvantages of MDF Board: 

• Heavier than particleboard.

• Pine Common Board
• Radiata Pine Board

Advantages of Pine Board:

• Appearance is more natural.
• Lighter-weight.
• Extremely durable.

When shopping for custom wall art, it is wise to inquire about the company's frame building process. The materials used in the frame will determine the longevity of your product. These are especially great on 24 x 18 and 8x8 Canvas Prints

Sometimes life gets a little messy and your prints need a little cleaning. Luckily, water-resistant inks have you covered. The fibers of every canvas we ship are graced with only the finest environmentally friendly, water-resistant inks.

During the printing process, printers apply UV light to the inks resulting in a reaction that protects the print. 

Popular UV Curable Inks:

Advantages of UV Curable Inks:

• Compatible with a wide variety of materials.
• Quick to dry.
• Decreased fading over time.
