Artwork Requirements for Rolled unframed canvas


What to send for rolled unframed canvas, and what is different from other ranges.

Short answer: send the original at the largest size you have and the final picture size in inches. Rolled canvas carries an extra margin on all sides, which your customer uses when framing, so decide whether that margin is blank or carries the picture on and say which in the brief.

About the edge

Where a print wraps round an edge, the picture has to carry on past the final size. State the wrap or edge method in your brief; it is confirmed at sampling.
