Professionaly printed photos on canvas
To get your photos to last a life time you need to have them professionally printed. You will already be familiar with old fashioned faded paper photos... very charming but they did not hold their colour vibrancy. These days photos on canvas will stay color true for years and often 75 years or longer.
Dye Sub Printer
When you have your photo printed as a canvas print then its life time is assured if you have selected a good printer and supplier. Your canvas may require a little maintenance such as dusting or wedge adjustment on the reverse to keep the canvas image taught.
When you have your print on canvas you need to select the best place for it so choose the right spot for hanging canvas prints. Try not to let it be exposed to direct sunlight. So when you mount the canvas on the wall, you should carefully choose a spot that does not get direct sunlight.
Do not worry about exposed to moisture or draughts for dye sublimated canvas prints as they will not be affected (cheaper giclee ones will run however). If the frame is a laminated bar it will not warp or twist unlike cheaper wooden frames with knots and twists on which the canvas are mounted. The cheaper canvas print frame can warp due to constant exposure to draught and this will affect its surface.
Dust your canvas regularly with dry cloth or duster. If you have dye sub canvas it is best to gently vacuum them as the woven canvas print will allow air to pass meaning they can be cleaned with light vacuum or dust buster.
If your canvas images are not dusted regularly, layers of dust can settle on the surface making the picture look dull over a period of time. Once the dust gets settled on the surface, it will be difficult to get rid of it completely. On a dye sublimated canvas you can never use soapy water to clean a mark or stain you may have had the misfortune to encounter on the surface of your prints
One day when your family are reviewing your history these canvas prints will become treasured even more so this means the memories will last more than a lifetime!
