5 Untapped Tips for Printing Photos on Canvas
Here are the top 5 untapped tips for you that you probably will never hear from someone else if you are looking forward to place an order with canvas printing.
1. Consider the environment
One of the things that most people overlook when they decide a photograph to be printed on a canvas or the frame that holds the canvas is the place it is going to be put on.
The colors in the photograph, amount of detailing in it, canvas size, and frame shape and color play an important role in showcasing persona of the wall and hence if there is something already on the wall that conflicts the view of the newly made frame, it does not look good and hence such thing should be avoided.
Always consider the ceiling and flooring color as well as wallpaper (if any) and wall color, the furniture type and theme alongside which the frame will hang and other things that already exist on the wall before placing your final order. Due to the customization options available in canvas printing, you are sure to get exactly what suits you need.
2. Don’t spend too much attention on the frame neither overlook it
The design of the frame should cope well with the surroundings it will have, like the ceiling and flooring colors, and furniture around it. It should provide enough contrast so draw some margins, but, important thing to remember, the frame itself should not draw more attention than the canvas printed art itself.
Avoid putting bright colors or fancy designs in case the picture you are going to put inside the frame has a subtle feel to it. Try to match the theme of the canvas.
3. Choosing the Canvas Material
With the rise of the trend of canvas printing, many manufacturers have come up with competitive pricing. The one thing they might easily cut corners though to decrease the manufacturing costs is the canvas material itself.
Different compositions of canvas materials react to different coloring techniques very differently and also vary a lot in either a matte or gloss-like finish depending upon the topmost layer of canvas. Due to this, same picture printed by same colors on different types of canvas will look differently and retain its glory for longer or shorter. So, check the canvas material before you put your precious money into it.
4. Choose the picture well
Different types of photos that you want to print on the canvas can have different amount of detail in it, and the viewing angles as well as the optimal viewing distance change with the amount of information in the photo itself. Not only does this make you choose the canvas size correctly, but this should also be factored into account when you decide where you want to hang the canvas originally.
For example, family pictures go well with bedrooms as the viewing distances are small but don’t look well in large hallways or near ceiling frames because you can’t perceive them easily from a distance. Same goes true with group vacation photos, they contain more information per inch than nature photos or quotes and should not be at too much viewing distances.
5. The light
Another important thing while making a decision on canvas printing is the lighting of the environment you are going to put it up on. If the lighting is off-white, you should consider not to put color rich images on the canvas as the off-white coloring will produce a color shift making the colors look different to the human eye.
Also, too bright lighting exactly opposite the frame position will put some glare on the glass of the frame, making it difficult to perceive. The finish of the glass, outermost surface of the canvas cause different combinations to reflect light differently so look into that information in advance.
So, this completes the top 5 most helpful tips that are not generally heard of when it comes to Canvas printing and interior designing. Even though these are very easily overlooked, they are as much important and should not be considered unnecessary or you may regret your decision and will end up with less satisfaction than you expected.
