NEW!  Framing4Yourself Canvas Transfer Service

 

Imagine being able to turn your prints into beautifully framed canvas masterpieces.  It’s simple.  Just upload your digital photos to us and we will print them to canvas in the size you request.  Once printed, we will stretch mount them onto Fredrix® Stretcher bars and ship the completed stretched canvas to you within 7 working days.


 

Here's How It  Works...
 

Step 1:  You select the size of the canvas you want (8x10, 11x14, 16x20, 20x24, 24x36 or 32x40) and add it to your shopping cart.  Then email us your image at images@framing4yourself.com

 

Step 2:  We print the image directly onto Fredrix® Print Canvas, a fine woven blend of polyflax and cotton specially coated with an acid free acrylic titanium gesso for long term archival quality.

 

Step 3: We laminate the canvas with liquid laminator for stretching.

 

Step 4: We stretch the canvas and mount it onto Fredrix® Stretcher bars.

 

Step 5:  7-10 working days after you've placed your order you receive the stretched and mounted canvas with your image on it, ready for framing.

Specifications
 

Digital Camera Files:  For best quality prints, you should upload files that are the maximum size available to you.  While we can print larger than we recommend, you run the risk of seeing lower than desired quality.  For example, for an 8x10 we recommend at least a 2MP camera file; however, we can do a print using a 1MP if the customer needs it. 

Many factors impact the quality of the print; the detail in the original file may impact the final output.  For example, an 8x10 portrait may look very good whereas an 8x10 of a 50 person group  may not yield the desired results (the granularity/detail is lost in the canvas).

 

Most digital cameras allow you to change the resolution so you can select the quality of your photos as you take them.  We highly recommend a setting of SHQ (Super High Quality) or Super Fine mode using TIF or JPEG (using minimum compression).  Remember, no matter what size the file, if the picture is blurry as a small print it will be blurry enlarged on the canvas.

As a rule of thumb:

 

Maximum Canvas
Size Possible
16"x20" - 22"x28"

20"x24" - 24"x30"

24"x30" - 30"x40"

Cropping:  Sometimes your print may need to be cropped to fit the size of the canvas you have ordered.  In this case we will artistically crop your digital image to fit the output size of the canvas.  If we see that your digital image will not work with your ordered canvas size, we will contact you to find a possible solution.

Scanned Picture Files:  If you are going to scan a picture to send to us, please set your flatbed scanner to scan your image at 300dpi or greater and save the file in RGB mode using JPEG format as the highest quality setting with low compression.
