How Are Paintings And Pictures Printed On Canvas Rolls?

Whether you're a novice or a seasoned canvas art print lover, the question of how such a beautiful thing comes into existence is bound to knock your brain. Arttree puts in the utmost care while creating its canvas prints and has in-depth proficiency and doing so too. So let's walk you through the process of creating a canvas roll painting or picture in a few simple steps to increase your knowledge and appreciation for the end product.

Choosing The Canvas

The canvas is the base material of every art print. It is just the fabric that absolutely any design or picture can be printed on. These days, the material usually is either cotton or poly canvas, which contains plastic. Since it's such a fundamental part of the process, it's important to ensure that only the highest quality canvas is being used.

Rolled canvas from a good supplier tends to print out images very clearly. This variant of the canvas provides both durability and mobility during shipping. This way, your canvas doesn't get ruined even when it's unframed and warrants longevity. Canvas rolls provide you with the choice to either frame or gallery-wrap them.

Printing

Offset printing is what first made canvas art prints possible. This printing procedure consists of transferring the inked image, also known as the offset, to a canvas via a rubber blanket. The offset technique used a flat image carrier along with the lithographic process that deals with oil and water rollers to derive desired results. Ink rollers applied ink to the image carrier's image areas, while a water roller applied a water-based film to the non-image areas. But with the changing times, the printing techniques have altered as well.

Since technological advancements in the 1990s, dye sublimation and digital printing have replaced offset printing. Canvases of up to 1.5 meters (59 inches) in width can be printed using digital printers that range in size from small consumer printers owned by the artist or photographer to large format printing service printers. Arttree also uses waterproof ink throughout the whole process so that the print is not distorted in case of any mishaps.

Packaging

Packaging is extremely important before prints are shipped off since we wouldn't want them to get damaged or torn up before they reach their destination. Using a cellophane or bubble wrap is a must. So they're packed away safely once the ink is completely dry and sent to their new homes.
