Canvas prints are not limited to just photographs
Although the most popular form of canvas printing is photos on canvas, there are other subject matters that are ideally suited for canvas printing. Any digital file can be printed on canvas. Even if the item is not a digital file, there is a good possibility that it can be turned into a digital file relatively easily. Photographs are the most popular type of canvas prints, but what many people don't realise is that pieces of art also make great canvas prints. If the art in question is a drawing or painting then simple scanning hardware can transfer the original work into a digital file for canvas printing [http://www.esjdesigns.co.uk/]. If the art is a collage made from three dimensional materials then photographing the subject with a digital camera will produce a digital file for canvas printing. Photographing the subject with a film camera is also suitable; it will just mean that the photographic print or negative will need scanning to produce a digital file. Companies like ESJ Designs offer a free scanning service, so it really is easy to print your precious pieces of art on canvas.
If the piece(s) of art to be turned into a digital file is too large for standard flat bed scanners, there are companies that offer large format scanning services, specialising in creating digital files for artists to create canvas print reproductions. There are also numerous art photographers who specialise in photo graphing art if scanning is not a suitable method. Either of these methods will generate the necessary digital file, commonly.tiff and JPEG files. The digital file can then be emailed to the canvas printing company and the piece of art can be reproduced into infinite numbers or maybe just a small number if limited editions of prints are being made.
Many pieces of original art are very time consuming to create and demand high selling costs. Having the capability of reproducing art as limited edition canvas prints means that pieces of art can be sold at lower costs for the consumer, but still profitable for the artist.
Canvas printing digital art files also gives the advantage of being able to create different sized canvas prints. People have different preferences to the size of art they want displayed in their homes. Having the opportunity of reproducing you art at different sized canvas prints is very beneficial and gives the added benefit of being able to charge different amounts for the same image at different sizes.
Original pieces of art are often very time consuming to create and unless they are being sold for commercial purposes, are often limited to being displayed in the artist's home. Using the capabilities of modern canvas printing techniques, accurate reproductions of art can be created and digital canvas prints can look just like the original. Once a digital file has been created the number of copies printed on canvas is limitless and a piece of art that took many hours to complete can be reproduced for others to appreciate in their homes.
