What are the benefits to printing on canvas?

The photography industry is always looking to push the boundaries, creating experiences through imagery to impact whatever space the photo is stored.

It's fair to say that photo printing has come a long way in recent times. From film and polaroid, to metallic and gloss print, your customers have the chance to display photos in a number of unique ways - showcasing memorable family events and special occasions both happy and sad.

Of course, the photography industry is always looking to push the boundaries, creating experiences through imagery to impact whatever space the photo is stored. This is where canvas print is a real point of difference - turning 2D photos into 3D works of art. At PhotoKing, we are proud of our canvas print ability and more than happy to show you examples.

Let's explore several of the benefits of printing on canvas, rather than paper.

Built to last

One of the biggest advantages of canvas is its durability. Made of sturdy material, canvas is great at keeping its shape over time, which is perfect for storing in a range of environments including art galleries, museums or a living room. This durability is also thanks to our specifically tailored digital printers with UV cured inks - designed to produce adaptable, long-lasting finishes every time.

High quality

When people think about canvas, there is sometimes a misconception that the finish will be lower quality, since it's not professional photo paper. However, this is quite the opposite.

The technology used by PhotoKing ensures that the image's original colour saturation remains the same or in some cases is enhanced. The trick with canvas printing is that it's different, unique and powerful - all elements that turn a good photo into something spectacular.

3D framing

One of the physical differences between canvas and paper is the 3D component. While regular paper photos need to be framed to go onto the wall or instead placed in an album, canvas photos are essentially a frame themselves - able to draw attention to the eye.

Of course, depending on the requirements of your customer, canvas photos can be framed further to add another dimension to the final product. Professional stretched canvas is designed to create impact, draw emotion and spark memories, everything that you are looking for in a photo and more.
