How to Print Photos on Canvas Equipment

Custom canvases are available online and at local design shops for personalization and printing.

Whether you want to print your photos onto a canvas for yourself or as a gift for someone else, you can do so online or locally, depending on your own personal preferences. Using the Internet or a local craft and printing store allows users to customize print size and the canvas material beforehand, which makes printing your photos to canvas even more personal.

Instructions

1. Choose the photos you would like to have printed on canvas. If photos are too small, they may not be able to fit to the size of the canvas you are looking for without stretching and distorting the image. Some companies and experts specialize in enhancing and enlarging digital photos, so calling different businesses before choosing one will save you time with the project overall.

2. Decide on the size of the canvases you would like to print your photos on. Naturally, the larger your canvas is going to be, the more expensive it will be to print and possibly ship, if necessary. Browse online websites for canvas or visit local craft stores to get an idea of the type of canvas and the sizes you will need. If you are using a company locally, you may have the option to purchase your own canvas for printing if you have a specific preference in type.

3. Call local businesses that specialize in canvas printing and photo printing. Many graphic and printing companies will offer these services. If you prefer handling the printing and customization on your own, many companies now offer printing to canvas directly from your computer. Check various companies online for a variety of deals and purchasable printed canvases.

4. Visit the online company you plan to use to print your photos on canvas. Browse the website's directory or catalog for the canvas you would like to purchase and have your photos printed on. Once you select the canvas, follow the website's on-screen guide to upload the image(s) from your computer and arrange them on your desired canvas, directly on your computer screen.

5. Order the canvas, whether it is online (from using an editor and uploading your own graphics), or from a local printing shop. Enter your payment, shipping, and handling preferences information and be sure to check to verify that the website you are using is secure. Pick up or schedule a delivery for your photo canvas.
