Product Details & Legal Information
Canvas & Materials
Our stretched canvas prints are made with thick, archival-grade polyester canvas that is pH-neutral and acid-free—designed to resist yellowing over time. Each piece is printed using giclée technology to produce vivid, true-to-life colors with a semi-gloss finish. A protective coating guards against scratches, smudges, and fingerprints, helping preserve the artwork's beauty for over 100 years.
The canvas is hand-stretched over solid, warp-resistant wood stretcher bars with rounded, beveled edges and a depth of 1.25", giving it a clean, gallery-quality profile. A pre-installed sawtooth hanger on the back ensures your artwork is ready to hang right out of the box.
Care Instructions
To ensure the long-lasting quality of your framed stretched canvas print:
- Display indoors, away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, air pollutants (like smoke), or extreme temperatures. These conditions may cause fading, warping, or mold over time.
- Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the printed surface.
- Lighting may affect appearance: Colors may look different under various lighting conditions. Our prints are calibrated for D50 (5000K daylight) viewing.
- For minor imperfections, small nicks can often be touched up with waterproof felt-tip markers or artist-grade touch-up paint.
By following these guidelines, your canvas print will retain its beauty and vibrancy for years to come.
