B&W
and Sepia images
Select this option if you would like your color photo converted
to black and white or sepia. Our artists know just what to do
to make the canvas print look sharp and rich, as if it was originally
photographed that way.
Our black and white canvases are really beautiful. We use a
combination of three black inks for a full tonal range. There
is never a color cast with our black and white canvases. Please
supply your black and white image as grayscale or we will convert
our end.
Multi-panel Canvases
This option allows you to take one photo and "Split it"
into multiple canvas prints. These multiple panels when viewed
together reproduce the entire scene. Available in 3-panels or
4-panels. Upload your image for free image proofing.
Mounting your canvas prints?
Printed Gallery Wrap
The canvas print is wrapped around a 1½” thick
wooden stretcher frame. The print continues around the edges
of the canvas sides for clean modern look, finished and ready-to-hang.
Coloured Edge Wrap
Your canvas print will be mounted on the face of the canvas
and the edges will be produced in Black or White Edges. Alternatively,
we can colour pick a suitable tone from your image to use for
a more accomplished finish on your wall. Come ready-to-hang
and really beautiful and an excellent value for money.
Photos/Images. What do I need to know?
Best file format, resolution and
image size
Short answer: 300 dpi jpeg
Long answer: The resolution from most digital cameras works
perfectly for our canvas product. If your camera is 5 mega pixel
or higher and you've taken the photo at the highest setting
you won't have a problem. If you're not sure about any of that,
you can check with us by uploading your image for proofing or
the file size by right clicking on your image, then, click on
properties, where the size will be displayed. Images that are
1meg or higher are great. Images under 1 meg but higher than
500kb are almost always workable, so go ahead and upload those
for proofing. Files under 400kb may work if the canvas if not
too large and the image is clear, feel free to upload those
as well with a note in the comments to contact you if there
is an issue with resolution. JPEG or TIF files are both OK.
We'll always call you if there is an issue.
Working with traditional prints
Many of our canvases are created from traditional photographic
prints (snapshots) and they turn out wonderfully. You can scan
your traditional print and upload it for proofing or we can
scan it for you. In that case’ please post your “traditional
photo” and we’ll send you proofs by email and return
your photos too.
A
question that frequently arises is “Will I get it back?
“ Absolutely. We are obsessive about taking care of our
customer’s property.

Get Canvas Limited, Churchill House, 15A Osboune Road, Ashford,
Kent TN24 0ED and include your details
Scanning tips
You can use a flat bed scanner to scan your image at 600 dpi
resolution. Save the file in RGB mode using JPEG format with
the highest quality setting and lowest compression. If you have
an old photo and don't have a scanner, you can post your photos
to us for proofing, which will then be emailed to you for approval
and photos returned.
Image Preparation
We will artistically crop your image so it works with the proportions
of the canvas size you’ve selected. Sometimes the image
you send us just won’t work in the finished size you selected.
If that’s the case we will call you with an alternative
solution or email image proofs. If you prefer, we can crop and
reproduce only a portion of your photo. Please give us an accurate
description of the intended cropping in the comments section
of the order form.
