Artists original designs have been produced for many years on to canvas prints using offset lithographic printing. Canvas prints since the early 90's have been linked with either sublimation or piezo inkjet printers. With these printers in mind, artists can print their work directly on canvas prints on very small print runs.

After the canvas prints are printed the canvas is trimmed to size and stapled to the stretcher bars or just a wooden panel and displayed. Depending on how it is printed, the canvas prints can be displayed in a frame or as a gallery wrap with bleeded canvas print edges or blank canvas print edges.

With modern technology today printers can produce many metres of canvas prints each hour allowing suppliers of canvas prints to become evermore competitive and produce lots of frames per day.

As the years have passed major suppliers of the wide format printers which print the canvas prints have done extensive tests on their inks to ensure they have a long life, as years gone by would give rise to fading and yellowing which obvioudly is not acceptable. In addition to high quality inks for the canvas prints modern varnished, which coat the canvas prints, are formulated to further more protect the canvas from UV rays which again add to the yellowing or fading of the canvas prints
