After being printed, your custom canvas print is hand-wrapped by one of our experienced professionals across a durable, yet light, wooden stretcher frame. As described above, this stretcher frame is common in the art industry. The stretched canvas is attached to this “frame” by small staples on the back side. Whether you select the Mirror Image, White or Black edge option (described more fully below) these staples will not be visible from the front or sides of your print. While all stretched materials can lose tautness over time, assuming no damage to the print, your canvas should remain tightly stretched across the stretcher frame for an extended period.
