Types of Framed Canvas Photo Prints
A framed Canvas Print is a beautiful way to enhance your photo. The type of frame we make for our Canvas Prints is called a float frame, which is a box frame which the photo sits in. There’s a small gap between the frame and the print, giving the illusion of the photo floating within the frame. One of the main advantages to this style of frame is that the photo is not hidden in any way. With traditional frames, the edges of a photo can be hidden by the frame or matting.
Floater frames for our Canvas Prints have a depth of two inches, are made with solid hardwood, and available in three different painted finish colours: black, white, and espresso.
Note that because we handcraft all of our Canvas Prints in-house, the hand-cut stretcher frames which the canvas wraps around can vary in size ever so slightly, which means there can also be a small variance in the gap size between the print and the floater frame, from 1/8” to 1/4”.
Unframed Canvas Photo Prints
Although framed Cavas Prints look incredible, unframed can look equally great! If you choose to order an unframed Canvas Print with us, your printed photo will be hand-stretched around a wooden frame, which is made from kiln-dried Canadian basswood. We also install the hanging hardware, so your unframed Canvas Print is ready to hang as soon as you get it.
But what do the edges of these canvas prints look like? We offer three options: mirrored edge, wrapped edge, and coloured edge.
The mirrored edge is our most popular style and works best with the majority of photos. Known as the faux gallery wrap, the image being printed remains on the face of the canvas print and the edge is created by reflecting the perimeter of the photo on the sides of the canvas. None of the original photo is lost to wrapping.
The coloured edge option provides a nice finished look for images that are not well-suited for the mirrored edge. Your entire image remains on the surface of the canvas, with the sides of the print being finished with a solid colour of your choice. This is a fantastic option if you want to add a pop of colour to your canvas print or want to have it coordinate with the room's existing style and decor. Or, for a more neutral look, you could choose black, white, or grey. Your colour choices are vast!
With the wrapped edge option, the image that is being printed will be wrapped over the edge of the canvas stretcher frame, resulting in part of the photo or artwork being displayed on the sides of the canvas print. Because of this, it's the least popular style and we don't generally recommend this options unless you don't mind losing the perimeter of your photo over the sides of the canvas print.
Framed or Unframed, The Quality is the Same
Regardless of whether you choose a framed canvas photo print or opt for the unframed option, the materials, equipment, and expertise that goes into crafting your print remains the same. If you choose Posterjack, your canvas print will be:
- Made in Toronto
- Handcrafted using premium-quality materials
