Make memories shine forever, make them live forever by printing them on to canvas prints. Canvas photo printing is creating an artwork of an image. By using the right ink and canvas during the printing process, the artwork may be made to last for a hundred years. This is an advantage over traditional photos which tend to lose their color in ten to fifteen years.
Before transferring a print to a canvas, one has to consider many options. First is to select a suitable photograph to be printed and forward it to the website or studio for processing. The company would then print the image on canvas, frame or mount the picture as per the requirements. Ensure that the photo to be sent for printing is of good quality, whether it has lost its color or it has aged; in such cases you have the option of doing a photo restoration. Here the specks in the photo, red eyes or even wrinkles, faded colors can be touched up to look fresh and original. Old photos of the forties and fifties will definitely need restoration before being sent to the printers.
The professional web designers first upload the photo and choose the size, style and framing options; wooden frames or a gallery wrap frame where the canvas is stretched around a wooden frame. The print editors then study the photo and choose the right contrast, colors etc., and in case the photos are good they do the touching up. The editor then seeks your approval of the final print before it is printed on to a top quality cotton canvas using a high-tech printer for best results. The canvas is then framed or stretched, packed carefully and mailed to the customer. To make limited editions or reproductions, it is advisable to opt for giclee printing; it is more cost-effective than offset printing and gives excellent rich color photos with sharp and high definition prints.
The old photos which need to be scanned may be a wedding photo, family group photo taken years ago, a snapshot of a memorable occasion, etc. which have since faded with time. Earlier all the snapshots used to be stored in albums of various sizes, covered with dust and forgotten except during family get-togethers. Professional editors specialize in restoring the damaged photos. Some of them prefer to color the restored prints by hand; others use the latest printing techniques. The old black and white photos can be colored to bring out the vibrant life in the picture, or as some prefer, change the colored prints to black and white.
Most pictures are visuals of memories to be enjoyed and appreciated years later. There is a great joy when we come across an old but memorable photograph after many years. If you would like to show your wedding picture to your grandchildren, you would definitely prefer it to be appealing to the eyes, and not as a harsh reality. So, opt for canvas prints to make it appealing.
