Stretched Canvas Prints

Question can tears in stretched canvas prints be repaired?


Best Answer You could try doing what some will do if they tear a canvas they are painting on, this is to paste a second canvas behind the torn one, and hide residual damage by painting over it, you'll have to be very good, I bet you can't hide traces of damage from close inspection though.

Question Is a giclee print, art print or stretched canvas print better?
There is a painting I have always loved, but I don't want to get a basic $10 poster. I want something that looks decent but won't cost me an arm and a leg. What is the differences (good and bad) between a giclee print, art print, and stretched canvas print?

Best Answer I think it is best to do a Giclee. Most of the expense is in the scan which is about 50.00. If you can take a good picture yourself of your art you can take a CD with your digital picture into the digital printer and have them print it for you. Then you can stretch your canvas yourself. I have a 16 x16 painting and the giclee was ninety dollars which included the scan (a one time fee) and stretching the canvas. When I took in my digital picture and stretched the canvas myself the exact same size cost $12.00. You can always paint over your giclee to enhance it and then seal it with varnish.

Question How to correct a slightly damaged stretched canvas print?
I have a photo that has been printed on canvas quite recently. Unfortunately, there is a permanent stain on the canvas along the plain white background. Is there any way of getting rid of it, or painting over/spraying it with a specialised product? Obviously in such a way that it doesn't damage the canvas further, and is not noticeable at all.. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Best Answer None that I know of. Sounds like the print is not protected with a coating or laminate.

Question What is the cheapest way to print a picture on stretched canvas?
Looking for the cheapest way to print canvas. I want to print 5-6 pictures, and it adds up. I need it to be shipped to the USA. I was asking about it here a while ago, and someone recommended artscow.com. The problem is they don't make stretched canvas in big sizes like 18"X24" , only rolled. THANKS!
