How to get the best results when ordering large canvas prints online.
When ordering your large canvas print from your photo there are several things to keep in mind in order to get great results: Image resolution, image orientation and composition, and image quality.
First, let’s look at image resolution. Resolution is one of the most important things to consider when enlarging a print. Prints on Canvas allow for great results with slightly lower pixels per inch resolution than you’d generally need on photo paper because of the canvas texture. Photo realistic resolution on photo paper requires 300ppi; canvas looks fantastic with 200ppi, and can even give acceptable results at 100ppi. What this means it that you can get great enlargements on canvas from your digital camera. There are images all over the web but most of these images have been downsized and sharpened for display resolution. These images grabbed from social network sites simply don’t provide the required resolution for enlargements. You want to choose a canvas printer that has software that analyses image resolution and gives recommendations on enlargement sizes. Your Canvas Printer is an example of an online canvas printer whose software allows for these recommendations.
The second thing to consider is the image itself. It is important to match image orientation to the intended print orientation. If you want a landscape oriented canvas enlargement the best results will come from a landscape oriented photo. Additionally, the composition is important when printing to canvas. Gallery wrapped canvas prints allow for different edge options and the composition can limit these options. Edge styles can be colored or have an image wrap. Colored edges are easy; image wrapped edges can present unique issues. Images that have desirable elements close to the edge may find these elements pulled onto the edge. The last thing you want is to unwrap your large canvas print only to find dad beheaded with his head wrapped around the top of the frame where no one can see it. I am always amazed at the canvas printers that just ask you to send them your photos for printing. It is so important to find a canvas printer that has made the investment in quality programming that allows you to crop your images to what you want, select edge styles, position the print area on your photo, and show you what is on the front and the sides of your image. Don’t leave anything to question. Again, Your Canvas Printer is a great example of an online printer that doesn’t leave you questioning what you’ve ordered.
Finally, the quality of the original image will affect results of your large canvas prints. As with any enlargement everything can be exaggerated. Soft out of focus pictures will become even softer. Overly sharpened pictures can come out choppy. Images taken in low light with high iso settings have image noise that is exaggerated. Quality in results quality out; garbage in results in garbage out.
These elements all work interact with each other. The interactive software at Your Canvas Printer gives recommendations on image size and allows customized edges and print area. Your Canvas Printer has made creating quality large canvas prints from your photos easy. Really all you need to do is pick a great picture and leave the rest to Your Canvas Printer.
