Mounting

At Atlanta Canvas and Print, we transform art into lasting canvas pieces using quality wooden frames, ensuring a professional touch with various printing options.

THE CANVAS MOUNTING PROCESS

Canvas doesn’t have the same exact needs as a paper print, meaning you can display your canvas without any glazing and without storing it in a glass frame. Since canvas is a type of woven fabric, it’s long-lasting and often the go-to for quality art prints you want to hang in your home for many years. Artist-grade canvas is meant to hold color and shape without fading or diminishing in quality and is archivally rated for over 100 years.


As part of the canvas mounting process, a rolled painting or print is stretched and then placed onto high-quality wooden stretcher bars that fit together with grooves. All four stretcher bars create a solid perfectly square base. Stretcher bars come in different thicknesses, and the larger the canvas, the more support the frame needs to have


After the stretcher bars are assembled, it is time to move on to mounting the canvas onto the stretcher bars. The artwork is trimmed to the final size for mounting with some additional space given if it is a gallery wrap design.


When mounting the canvas onto a stretcher wood frame, we ensure the stretcher bars around the edge of the canvas are flush with the edges of the artwork. This helps align your image so it looks just the way you want it. Starting in the middle of one of the longer sides of the canvas, the canvas material is pulled tight and stapled onto the back of the stretcher bar to keep the canvas tight and smooth. The ends of the mounted picture are then stapled securely, and the canvas is wrapped around the back of the frame.


A professionally stretched canvas makes a piece of art less prone to everyday wear and tear, with a perfectly taut surface that doesn’t bow over time. Our professional mounting services wrap the piece of artwork so that it’s perfectly centered and as level as possible. These little details are often ignored by large, commercial print shops, but we are here to ensure your finished mounted canvas looks beautiful for years to come.

Mirror Effect

Our favored Mirror/Wraparound canvas prints enhance depth with a mirror effect that extends images beyond borders, creating a seamless, immersive experience. This technique, combined with vibrant colors, appeals to art enthusiasts, offering a professional, captivating visual appeal that invites viewers into the scene.

Canvas Quality

After stretching, our ready-to-hang canvas prints enhance any space, offering a professional finish without the need for an external frame, although local options exist. We prioritize quality, using durable, fade-resistant canvas blends for longevity and a polished look.

Our service includes image editing for a clear gallery print. Our archival ink ensures the canvas remains vibrant for over a century, ideal for preserving life's significant moments like weddings and family memories.
