Canvas prints are suitable for:

• Hinge mounting behind a mount (matt) with a nominal 3mm overlap and framing behind glass.
• Adding metal leaf, which should be sealed to prevent tarnishing and oxidisation.
• Hand embellishing using acrylic and mixed media.
• Varnishing or laminating.
• Dry mounting and framing.

Note that canvas does not bond to adhesive boards or tapes very well and is prone to bubbles, wrinkles and coming loose. Dry mounting is the best method of mounting canvas on board. Contact us for dry mounting inquiries. 

Once you have placed the order, you will receive a confirmation of the order. To send us the image for printing, use that same email you received and attach the image or a WeTransfer link for us to download.

The higher the image resolution you provide us with, the better.

Industry standard publishing quality is 300dpi, which is ideal, though we recommend a minimum of 72dpi.

We upscale all images to 300dpi before printing to preserve the existing image definition, but we cannot create new definition that is not in the original image we receive.

We print all images exactly as received and match each print as closely as possible to the image as displayed on our computer screen.

We are able to provide A4 proofs on paper upon request and this is recommended if colour, tone and contrast are particularly critical.

We are able to edit images to crop, extend into a bleed or border, remove blemishes and make colour / brightness / contrast changes upon request and at a nominal charge.

Contact us to discuss any editing required.

• Canvas prints with a 1cm border are suitable for mounting on board. The border may be larger than 1cm on two opposite sides due to the canvas roll width which may be trimmed as required.
• Canvas prints with a 5cm border are suitable for stretching on bars. The image is extended into the border where possible to facilitate a ‘gallery wrap’ where the image also covers the sides.

All prints should either be framed behind glass, varnished or laminated for resilience.

Prints should not contact the glass or they will deteriorate over time. Always use a mount to separate the canvas from the glass.

Handle prints carefully to avoid creasing or scuffing. Do not roll tightly. Do not touch or rub the surface. Do not expose to moisture.

We offer a wide range of services for printing orders such as framing, glazing, mounting, lamination and dry-mounting. Contact us to discuss your options at info@ryoung-art.com
