Giclée Printing - hidden

Prints

• Paper: includes about a 1” white border. Let us know if you need more or less white space.
• Canvas: 
  • When stretching canvas, additional canvas border is added as required to wrap around the stretcher bars. This depends on stretcher bar size (see Canvas Stretching for additional information). If stretching is not performed in the studio please indicate what size border is needed.
  • Standard Wrap canvas includes 2” of additional border for stretching using standard wrap wood bars (see Canvas Stretching for size).
  • Gallery Wrap canvas includes 3” of additional border for stretching using gallery wrap wood bars (see Canvas Stretching for size).
  • Edges
    • White: edges of the canvas border has no printing and is the color of the canvas. Recommended for Standard Wrap canvas when inserting into a standard frame overlapping some of the image edge. 
    • Colored: edges can have a solid color and will wrap around the stretcher bars. See Disclaimer below.
    • Mirrored: all edges are mirrored to provide enough additional image to wrap around stretcher bars. There is an edge when the borders are mirrored similar but not as noticeable as solid colored edges. See Disclaimer below. For example, when a tree with branches are pointing upwards the mirrored edge will be pointing down on the sides. This causes a visual V at the wrap. This is common and the easiest method to reproduced artwork on canvas.
    • Extended: the image is digitally extended on all edges to add enough image to wrap around the stretcher bars. Your original image is not changed and remains the face of the print. We digitally extend the image as if the image is larger than it really is. This does not cause an edge and looks cleaner when wrapping. This is the new preferred method when showing printed edges on stretched canvas. 

Disclaimer

Although we make every effort, there is no guarantee the edges of the border line up perfectly with the edges of the stretcher bars. You might see some of the colored or mirrored edge from the front or image on the edges. Canvas is a cotton/polyester material and when stretching sometimes it stretches more or less then expected.
