Cheap canvas prints



If you do not like the idea of cheap canvas printing perhaps quality canvas prints that are inexpensive is more to your taste although the bottom line is that you do not need to spend a lot of money to enjoy seeing your digital photo on canvas looking great on your wall.

Take a few moments and visit one of the online websites such as Bonusprint and read up about canvas printing. There was a time, long, long ago, when people used the walls of caves as there medium for their art and there is no doubt that cave painting has stood the test of time. However, for some artists, painting in a cave was not that convenient and so someone came up with the idea that canvas could be a good basis on which to express a painter's talent.

For more than a century paper, that has been made light-sensitive, was the way photos were transferred from a negative image to a positive photograph ...and then inkjet printing came along. There is nothing strange about the notion that instead of printing photos on light sensitive paper, technology enables us to print photos on a variety of surfaces including canvas. The great advantage to photographers when it comes to photos on canvas is that cheap canvas prints look incredibly good. Of course, the original digital image has to be a good photograph, in focus and correctly exposed to light, but when the photo on canvas is viewed from a wall, the texture of the canvas and the scale of the image in terms of size, gives the photograph a completely new dimension.


 Canvas prints can be considered to be the new classics and in years to come may well be viewed with the same admiration we view great portrait painters of old. The process of creating your own gallery of photos on canvas is very easy and only requires a link to one of the online websites that can be easily found by Google. Once you have decided on the shape and size of your cheap canvas print, uploading and cropping your digital images couldn't be simpler and paying couldn't be less painful as canvas printing really is a cheap way to turn a dull wall into a talking piece. Most paper based photo prints require a frame but canvas printing looks better without a frame thanks to the way the canvas is wrapped around a square, portrait or landscaped-shaped wooden frame. This process of fixing the canvas to wooden frames causes the image on the canvas print to wrap around the wooden frame as well, and when hung flush to a wall, gives the appearance of the image emerging from the wall.

Unless you have actually seen a quality canvas print it is hard to appreciate how effective that form of photo printing can be. Try explaining to a cave artist why a canvas in a frame is a better medium for his or her talent that a cave wall. A photo canvas portrait of someone you love will imbue the digital image with a zest that can be missing from digital photographs. Canvas online printing is a new phenomenon that owes everything to digital photography and yet it is the tangible expression of the canvas that lifts digital images into a new realm.
