Already sent this info to my brother, a pro photographer and teacher. Some random thoughts about canvas prints and CanvasHQ.com Advantages of canvas– — looks artsy, like a painting. Disadvantages of canvas– — some loss of sharpness (compared to non-canvas prints) — need to allow a few inches on every side for “image wrap,” which looks better than black or white border — unknown archival quality in bright sunlight. Add UV plexiglas and a metal or wood frame on those walls? Advantages of CanvasHQ.com— — great Website and service! — easy uploading of large files and visual confirmation of print — professionals in large canvases, including excellent wrap, installed wood bracing, hanging hardware, and sturdy wire — canvas prints up to 96″ wide, which I got. Measure wall space twice, order once — arrived from their shop in Arkansas via MME freight in my area (large truck, great guy) in a sturdy wooden shipping box, not cardboard — easily found and used a “coupon code” (20% off) — was strongly advised to get a 2-1/2″ (depth) frame, but didn’t want to lose image in the wrap. 1-1/2″ seems sturdy enough.
