How It Is Made
Our Canvas Quality & Printing Process
A canvas is only as good as what goes into it: the ink, the fabric, the frame, and the care taken making it. Here is exactly how your piece is produced, so you know what you are getting before it arrives.

How your canvas is printed
Every piece is printed with HP Latex inks, which are water-based rather than solvent-based. The color goes down rich and accurate, holding fine detail across the whole print. And because the inks are water-based, there is no harsh chemical smell when you open the box.
The inks are UL Certified GREENGUARD GOLD, a standard for low chemical emissions. It is the same certification looked for in products used around schools and healthcare spaces, so what goes on your wall is safe to live with.
The canvas and the frame
The print is done on UV-protected canvas, then stretched over a solid wooden frame. The stretcher bars are FSC-certified and knot-free, so the surface stays flat and true without the warping cheaper knotty wood can cause over time.
Every canvas is a full 1.25 inch gallery-depth wrap. Prefer a framed look? Most pieces offer a black floating frame at checkout. Either way it arrives stretched and ready to hang, with saw-tooth hardware and rubber bumpers already fitted.
What makes this different from a cheap print
The ink
Water-based HP Latex with a low-emission GREENGUARD GOLD certification, versus the solvent inks common at the low end.
Fabric and frame
UV-protected canvas on FSC-certified, knot-free wood that stays flat, versus thin canvas on knotty bars that warp.
The finish
Stretched and hung by hand with hardware already fitted, versus a rolled sheet you have to mount yourself.
The footprint
Made to order near you on responsibly sourced materials, versus mass-produced stock shipped long distances.
If something is not right, we fix it
Each piece is made to order, and we stand behind it. Damaged, defective, or misprinted? We reprint and reship at no cost.
