Product Details & Legal Information
Canvas & Materials
Our framed stretched canvas prints combine fine art quality with a refined, gallery-style presentation. Each piece is printed on thick, archival-grade poly-cotton canvas that is pH-neutral and acid-free, preserving the artwork’s vibrancy and preventing yellowing over time. Using giclée printing technology, the colors are rich, true-to-life, and protected with a durable, semi-gloss coating to resist scratches, smudges, and fingerprints.
The canvas is expertly stretched over solid, warp-resistant wood stretcher bars and framed in a sleek, professional-grade frame. A black backboard and wire hanger are installed on the reverse, making the piece ready to hang immediately upon arrival.
Framing
This premium fine art option features a thick, archival-grad polycotton blend canvas, carefully hand-stretched over 0.75" deep wooden bars for lasting durability and museum-quality presentation. The artwork is then mounted in a modern float frame, leaving a subtle ¼" gap between the canvas and the frame’s edge to create a sleek, “floating” effect.
Each piece is professionally finished with a black backing, protective wall bumpers, and a wire hanger—arriving ready to hang.
Frame Color Options: Black, White, Gold, or Silver
Canvas Depth: 0.75"
Style: Modern float frame with a clean, gallery-ready finish
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.
