Good question

Photographic canvas, often used for printing photos or artwork, is made using a different process than traditional artist canvas. Here’s how photographic canvas is typically made:

Material Selection: Photographic canvas is often made from a blend of cotton and polyester fibers. This blend provides a smooth surface for high-quality image printing.
Coating Application: The selected fabric is coated with an ink-receptive layer, typically made of acrylic or another polymer. This layer is designed to accept and hold the ink used in the printing process.
Drying and Curing: After the coating is applied, the canvas is dried and cured to ensure that the ink-receptive layer is fully set and ready for printing. This step may involve heat curing or UV curing, depending on the manufacturing process.
Printing: The prepared canvas is then used in wide-format inkjet printers. Specialized printers equipped with high-quality inks are used to print images or artwork directly onto the canvas surface. This printing process can reproduce vibrant colors and fine details.
Finishing: Once the image is printed, the canvas may undergo additional processes for protection and aesthetics. This can include the application of protective coatings or varnishes to enhance color vibrancy, add gloss, or provide UV protection.
Cutting and Stretching: After printing and finishing, the canvas is typically cut to the desired size and stretched over a wooden frame, similar to traditional artist canvas. This stretched canvas is often ready to hang as wall art.
A well made piece of canvas wall art is not only an impressive print, it will also last for many decades if done properly. Ours are made in the USA, not China.

Photographic canvas is popular for creating customized prints of photographs, artwork, or graphics due to its ability to reproduce high-quality images. The materials and processes used are tailored to ensure excellent print quality and durability for display purposes.
