Canvas

Canvas was wildly popular in the inkjet world around 2005, but has since ebbed a little in popularity as it's sometimes seen as more of a decor option than a fine art option - probably thanks to the pretty awful printing being done by endless generic canvas printing companies out there!

But of course canvas can be very much a fine art product, the trick is to get a really good one and print on it to fine art standards.

As a material, canvas opens up opportunities for a much simpler (and cheaper) process to getting your work up on walls than traditional framing. You can simply stretch it, which is about a third of the price of proper framing, and suits modern fashions, or you can stretch and frame like this lovely Leunig print hanging on our own walls.

Our favourite canvas is  Hahnemühle Daguerre canvas. We've tested this extensively against the alternatives from other brands and the print quality is simply significantly superior, with lovely deep blacks nor available on competing products and a fine, tight tooth so it expresses even fine detail wonderfully.

Wonderfully substantial at 400 GSM, with exquisite print quality, and stretches beautifully. Quite frankly nothing else comes close to this.
