How do I order?

Our ordering process is simple. Upload the photo on our order page. Please make sure the file size is large enough to ensure a high quality print when enlarged. Alternatively, the photo can be emailed to us at contact@canvasmemoirspro.com, or you can drop off the actual photo for us to scan at our show room. If you ask for any photo modifications, we will work closely with you to make sure the image is exactly to your liking before we print it onto canvas.

How can I ensure color accuracy?

We understand that color accuracy if very important to the professionals we are working with. Our monitors and printers are calibrated regularly to ensure that our canvas prints match the color details in your file. We recommend that you calibrate your monitor as well to make sure what you are viewing on your screen is what we see from our end as well. Some low cost calibration devices are the X-Rite ColorMunki, or Datacolor Spyder4. There are different versions of these devices, but even the lowest cost one will be able to calibrate your display better than what can be done with just your eyes. If you attempt to calibrate with out a device, your computer should have a walkthough wizard to help you with this. If you have a PC, here is an article that can help: http://www.pcworld.com/article/241957/how_to_calibrate_your_monitor.html 

We can also send you a hard proof of your image printed on canvas so you can see exactly how the colors and brightness details will be. Please contact us via email (contact@canvasmemoirspro.com) an attach a copy of the image. We will print it on a size of approximately 8x10" rolled canvas and ship it to you via a USPS flat rate envelope. There is no charge for this service, other than the cost of postage (Usually around $5.20). However, please make sure you have an extra week before your deadline before requesting a hard proof.

How do I choose the proper sized photo?

Typically, the larger the print size, the higher the definition the photo should be. If the file size is too small, the image will become pixelated at the larger print sizes. To ensure a high quality print, please make sure the approximate resolutions are used for your digital images:

Resolution Minimum:

The resolution from most digital cameras works perfectly for our photo canvas product.

If your camera is 5 mega pixel or higher and the photo was taken at the highest setting you won't have a problem. If you're not sure about any of that, you can check the file size by right clicking on your image, then, click on properties, where the size will be displayed. Compare that number to the recommended resolutions listed above.

Please note, the sizes listed in the table are the popular sizes we have seen.

If you are not familiar with what resolution you can or can not use, please message contact@canvasmemoirspro.com

What are the different wrapping options?

To provide our customers with flexibility, we can provide our canvas in several wrapping options. The simplest is our rolled canvas. We will provide instructions for stretching, or alternatively, you can take it to your framer to have this done. Next, we can provide a pre-stretched canvas onto 0.75 inch thick wooden bars. This option is recommended for framing. If you wish to mount the canvas on the wall without framing, we recommend our 1.5 inch thick stretcher bars.

How much extra bleed do you need to accommodate the wrap?

In order to accommodate the wrap, we need some extra to pull around the stretcher bars. For 1.5” wraps, we need an additional 2” added to each side and for the 0.75” wraps, we need an additional 1” added to each side. For example, a 16x20x1.5” will need to actually be sized at 20x24” with the bleed included and a 16x20x0.75” will need to actually be sized at 18x22” with the bleed included.

I do not see a canvas size that I want. Can you provide custom dimensions?

Yes! We can mix and match any length stretcher bar listed and we also have less common lengths in stock. Please contact us for details.

Are there any restrictions on the types of photos you can print?
