- Is the attention to detail provided by inhouse studio, with blemish and redeye removal free as standard?

Cracked ink jet canvas
Many companies providing canvas prints use poor print technology and materials that can allow the canvas to damage easily. Tearing due to paper based canvas, poor ink jet print quality allowing scuffs to damage the ink surface, loose fitting, cracking print are the usual pitfalls. And then they take two weeks to send it to you.
We can gaurantee the following:
- You will get perfect likeness in print quality, long lasting.
- You cannot tear our canvas as it's real woven fabric.
- You cannot scuff our canvas as print penetrates deep into yarn.
- It will be stretched as tight as a drum.
- Our print does not crack on edge of frame.
Handmade high quality
And, because we use the original 'wedge' method you can maintain a tight stretch of your canvas over the years by tapping the corner wedges if needs be. That is the correct way to keep the canvas firm! Many companies have removed the wedge (or don't even know about it) from their production to reduce their costs meaning canvas is not tight as a drum.
We wedge all our canvasses. Wedges are vital!
Our service to our customers is simple and straightforward - we listen to you, we follow instructions, we raise concerns, we meet your expectations (in the very least), and we are easy to talk to.
Most suppliers offer ink jet prints (aka giclee) that will crack on the corners. We sue dye sublimation and print photos on canvas (real woven heavy 500gsm fabric) using fibre deep printing with dye sublimation. This means the ink fuses deep into the canvas and is impossible to crack. Canvas prints online will give your canvas a free coating in a gloss varnish that will prolonge the life of your canvas, all our canvases come with our life time gaurantee.
