How much are your canvas prints? Examples: 12" x 12" canvas print on wooden stretcher bars costs £29. 1m by 0.8m will cost just £115. These are a very popular sizes and make ideal gifts. Please see or print order form, or the online price calculator for full pricing. As they are made to measure you need to know your dimensions to get an idea of price. You can obtain a quote with our get quote facility here. Do they have a plastic coating? No. Our canvas prints look and feel like fabric. They do not have a plasticised coating. The raw grainy feel of the canvas is a popular feature. The inks penetrate deep into the canvas. Canvas with plastic coatings or laminated surfaces do not stretch! Do You Mount on Stretcher Bars or MDF blocks? We only use finest quality pine professional stretcher bars that are industry standard. We consider MDF blocks with fabric glued to them to be far too heavy and inconsistent with quality canvas stretching workmanship. What do I need to take into account regarding the subject of the photo? When you choose your photo, make sure the subject is clear and has enough room around it to fit the shape of your order dimensions. Please take into account that the printed image gets wrapped around to the reverse of the stretcher bar frame. This means approximately 2-3cm of your image (on all four sides) will not be visible 'head on' when looking at the finished piece. Please be sure to avoid any key subject at the very edge of the photo. We do our very best to avoid losing any key features on the edge, but it is worth noting this point at the stage of choosing your photo. If you are ordering the deeper block frame then 4-5 cm of the image (on all four sides) is wrapped to the sides and back of the frame. How much is delivery? £3.95, any size, any quantity. EU countries: £15 Rest of the world: £20 How deep is the stretcher frame? The standard stretcher bar frame is 2cm deep (three quarters of an inch). We also make 4cm (1.5") frames to order at additional charge (+30%) and take 7 days longer. All stretch frames have hardwood corner wedges. All canvas prints are stretched and mounted by hand.  How Can I keep it clean? CARE: Vacuuming with a correct attachment - e.g. curtain nozzle as appropriate when hung on wall. We also recommend dusting or wiping with a damp cloth perhaps with mild soapy water if marked. Do not get frame soaking wet as it may warp. No solvents. Use a lint roller (pictured) for fluff. Is it ok to put my canvas print up in the bathroom? Steam will not damage the canvas material or the print or the wooden frame in normal bathroom conditions. Prolonged steam could lead to warping of the frame - but that would have to be like a steam room i.e. constant and hot. If just normal bathroom conditions then there should be no problem. Avoid splashing water on the wooden frame. A minor splash won't hurt, but best to avoid. Is there a margin of difference in the finished size of the piece to my ordered dimensions? There is unlikely to be any significant difference on the smaller canvas prints (less than 80cm x 80cm) but there may be a small difference on larger pieces. This is because we may have to adjust the image size we print to meet the standard dimensions of the stretcher bar sizes we use for framing, plus the margin of flexibility in the canvas when it is being stretched. The difference in size is unlikely to be more than 5cm max, and we generally go to the the next size up - so you get a larger than ordered piece. The stretcher bar frames move in 2" steps beyond 80cm - hence us making these minor adjustments to the dimensions. By all means call to discuss or make notes with your order and we will do our best to accommodate. 4.5cm frames are made exact to order. How big can they be? Up to 1.4m along one side and any dimension the other direction. How long do they take to make and deliver? We try to get your canvas our for you next day, although the later in the day you make the order the harder it is for us, and very difficult with orders after 3. Some larger sizes can take a few days depending on frame stock. So, basically, we try to make your canvas for next-day delivery. What are the size guidelines? The canvases are made to measure - so you identify your photo and wall hanging space and give us the dimensions for production. It makes sense to keep the shape of the photo to the shape of the canvas or cropping will be required. We do have a range of standard sizes permanently in stock: ordering one of these sizes significantly speeds the manufacture process. Standard sizes are: 30x30cm, 30x40cm, 40x40cm, 60x40cm, 50x80cm and 1m x 1m. Are the printed images durable? Yes very durable, and colour / lightfast. Our practical tests included machine washing flat prints (full cycle) five times with no colour change to the naked eye. Print is unlikely to fade with normal use. You can't rub colour off. The print will not flake or scratch off the surface like common canvas inkjet printing can and does not crack like some canvas prints do where they get wrapped around the corner of the frame.
