Are Stretched Canvas and Wrapped Canvas the Same Thing?

Stretched canvas and wrapped canvas are similar methods of displaying canvas prints, but they have subtle differences. Stretched canvas involves stretching fabric over a wooden frame with visible staples along the sides, while wrapped canvas wraps the fabric over the entire front, sides, and edges of the frame, hiding the staples. Gallery-wrapped canvas may also include printed edges that extend the image. These differences do not impact the quality of the prints.

10 Things You Should Know About Canvas Printing

Canvas printing is a popular technique for displaying photos and artwork on stretched canvas. Understanding the materials used, the durability of canvas prints, the types of prints available, and the importance of image resolution is crucial. Unlike canvas painting, canvas printing reproduces existing images with archival ink and an inkjet printer. Framing is not necessary for canvas prints, and they differ from acrylic prints. Choosing different shapes and sizes for canvas prints can add visual interest, and partnering with a trusted printing company like The Stackhouse ensures flawless results and museum-quality prints.

What Is Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Printing?

Gallery-wrapped canvas prints offer a sophisticated touch to artwork and photographs. Unlike studio-wrapped prints, gallery wraps fully stretch the canvas over wooden frames, resulting in a seamless, continuous image with no exposed frames or staples. Experts utilize high-quality tools and archival inks to create clean and elegant prints. Framing is optional but can complement the gallery-wrapped aesthetic. At The Stackhouse, we specialize in gallery-wrapped canvas prints using premium materials to enhance the beauty of your artwork.
