Canvas Stretching Frequently Asked Questions
The natural texture, depth and brilliance of a canvas print is wonderful and the print reflects light in different directions as opposed to a regular flat print. Canvas doesn't need to be framed with protective glass so the image can be seen clearly without bothersome glares and finally, Canvas prints are tougher and far more durable than paper prints.
Gallery wrap is the process of wrapping the printed canvas around a wooden/custom-made stretcher bar frame. The image is wrapped around the frame for a clean modern look. Floater frames can also be used with gallery wraps to add an extra element of sophistication.

We accept JPG and the suitability of the file format really depends on whether you intend to submit your image by email or by mail. As a general rule, JPEG files are best if submitted by email or uploading and TIFF files are best if submitting on CD or USB. JPEG files are lossy meaning that when they compress the data, they throw some of it away. When a JPEG file is uncompressed it does not always duplicate the original data exactly. TIFF files, on the other hand, are lossless meaning they do not throw away data whilst compressing. The result is that TIFF files are much larger than JPEG files but they preserve every pixel that was in the original.
