As all canvas prints are handmade items, the end result can differ greatly, it takes years of experience to print and manufacture high quality canvas art. Our team is lead by our very own fine arts graduate who understands customers needs.
Printing Process & The Canvas
The best photographic canvas available on the market today is used at Fotofast. We are constantly trialling and sourcing canvas from USA and Europe. We do not use inferior cheap canvas from Asia and other countries.
Image resolution
A print can only be as good as the source it is printed from the industry standard is 300 dpi which is used in all professional media. So a resolution of 300 dpi onto a fine grade canvas will produce the highest level of detail.
Life Span Of Canvas Art Prints & Green Technology
Fotofast use the very latest "green" printing technology. Our prints will last many generations, over 80 years.
This new technology gives a finished product that is water resistant unlike many budget canvas producers.
It can we wiped clean with a clean damp cloth without problems.
Colour
We are a photographic lab with over 20 years experience in colour management.This is the most important aspect of the printing process, it involves the calibration of both printers, monitors and especially the photo papers and canvas. This can only be achieved with the specialist technology and trained operators. We always tweak your image to ensure that the best possible quality print from your photo is achieved.
Monitor settings can give very different results and totally change look and feel of images displayed on the web. It is worth checking your monitor is not over contrasted and the colour balance is set to normal. We use specialist equipment to make sure that our computer monitors have no colour bias and are calibrated regularly.
We haven't just arrived in the marketplace, for us photos on canvas compliment our huge range of photo printing products.
The Frame
The ideal frame for canvas prints is kiln dried wood as it is light weight and does not warp with heat as all the moisture has already been removed, this provides for the most stable frame choice. We use New Zealand plantation grown radiata pine for a really professional finish. Canvas photos are much lighter than traditionally framed prints without the need for glass,
making them much easier to transport when you move home.
Display Choice
All of our canvas art comes gallery wrapped which means the image is stretched around the edges of the frame to create a seamless museum quality finish. You have the choice of a complete image wrap, white or coloured edges or we can mirror edge the image.
New Products
We will soon be offering gallery finish for more than canvas with a range of textured finishes and unique media.
