Photos printed on canvas have provided us with the chance to display our personal and artistically created photos on larger formats. When they are printed on linen or fabric-like substrates the images can be shared with a larger number of people. Priceless family pictures can be freed from the pages of photo albums and be permitted display space on a wall for all to see.

Millions of people practice different forms of photography as hobbyists or professionals. By having their photographs enlarged and reproduced on canvas the images will have a different look to them rather than on paper. Many people are attracted to this innovative technique.

The canvas is typically mounted on a supporting frame so that the image will be protruding a few inches out from the wall. This new look brings more attention to the picture and in some cases resembles an oil painting. For those looking for a portrait effect this is one way of achieving it.

A large format printer is needed when reproducing images onto thicker materials. Famous manufacturers provide many different models and the consumer should learn how to research the most suitable printer for their needs. Some printers for instance use only ultra violet proof inks to prevent image fading but these inks are the most expensive.

Artists are experimenting with this technology and have created mixed media work.This has opened a new genre of expression for artists. A growing number of people are attracted to this art form.

The photos printed on canvas are created with real paint that is brushed onto designated areas on the substrate. The photo images can also be altered using a software that allows for this manipulation. When done well the value of these images is tremendous as we see when buyers are prepared to pay thousands of dollars for their purchase.
