Question
What are canvas prints made of?
Answer
A canvas print combines a printed fabric surface with a wooden support frame.
| Component | What it is |
|---|---|
| Fabric | Poly-cotton blend or 100% cotton, chosen for texture and durability |
| Frame | Kiln-dried wooden stretcher bars that hold the fabric taut |
| Ink | Archival, pigment-based inks applied on a large-format inkjet printer |
| Coating | An optional UV-protective layer that guards against fading and scratches |
Poly-cotton blends tend to resist sagging in humid rooms, while 100% cotton gives a slightly finer, artist-grade texture.
