Canvas prints are one of the most popular forms of custom art. Not only can you print your images on canvas, but you can also print them on aluminum and wood. The options are endless. One of the main reasons for the popularity of the best canvas prints is the wide variety of styles available. You can find something to fit any design style.
Please take some time to read the following recommendations on, how to care for your canvas prints?
Handle with care:
The first thing you\'ll notice about our high-quality canvases is that they are very tightly wrapped around their bars. If you try peeling off this tight wrapping too quickly, you might damage the print or stretch it out of shape even more than it was before being wrapped up. For best results please follow these steps: Slowly peel away the tape that holds the outer stretcher bar in place on the back of the canvas. Once this is done, you can gently remove the bars from the sides of the print. Peel away each layer of the backing paper slowly, one at a time. If there is any resistance don\'t pull too hard or peel too quickly - it will help to use your fingertips rather than fingernails to peel off each layer of paper for best results.

Don\'t hang them in direct sunlight:
Sunlight contains ultraviolet light which will cause your print\'s colors to fade over time and even potentially damage the surface of your canvas. A faded image doesn\'t mean that the quality of your image will be reduced; it\'s just not as bright and vibrant as before. Always keep your canvas prints away from any source of direct sunlight to prevent fading or damage to your print.
Don\'t overload bookshelves with heavy objects:
The weight of other books or objects placed on top of the print might cause its bars to bend, making it sit unevenly on whatever surface you hang it on. To avoid this problem, always make sure there is enough room between the wall and whatever else is being hung so there can be space for air circulation behind them – otherwise, they\'ll start to warp over time.

Avoid direct contact with water:
Your print will withstand a certain degree of water exposure however prolonged or constant contact with water will cause discoloration and, after prolonged exposure, the canvas itself might start to deteriorate. For this reason, we suggest avoiding placing them in actual contact with water such as bathroom walls or near aquariums where they\'ll be constantly exposed to moisture.
Keep them dust-free:
Dust can get accumulated on top of a print\'s surface which can cause scratches over time so we advise not to expose the print itself to direct sources of dust such as open windows, air conditioning vents, etc. Also, please remember that a certain amount of discoloration will always occur over time due to oxidation - this has nothing to do with fading or other damage caused by external factors and it doesn\'t have any impact on the quality of your image.

Always make sure there is enough air circulation around your print:
Environmental changes such as humidity and too much heat can cause warping over time if your print doesn\'t have enough airflow around it for proper ventilation. Also, keep in mind that some non-archival quality stretcher bars are used during printing on canvases so their size might vary slightly from one edge of the print to the other depending on how tightly they were wrapped around the frame bars before being sent out for shipping.
Never use cleaning fluids directly on prints:
Anything you spray directly on a print could potentially damage it. You should never spray prints with cleaners or any liquids directly - always make sure to spray the cloth you use on prints instead to avoid risks of discoloration from spills and other accidents.
