"Hi, I'm JK Dooley, I'm a professional artist, and we're talking a little bit today about giclee reproductions. And, now we're talking a little bit about canvas. And, one of the nice things about as a choice to print on, is it is very durable. It's something that obviously it doesn't tear, well, it does, but you have to work really hard at it, it's not like paper. And if you get a crease in the canvas, it's something that you'll be able to get rid of when you stretch it, the creases will go away. Typically a crease in paper once you've had that happen, the paper's pretty useless. So that's a nice thing about it. It's also if you sell a piece of canvas, a canvas image, if you sell it to a gallery or something, that does their own stretching and framing, you can go ahead and roll the piece up. And it ships really really well. It doesn't get creased, it doesn't get damaged and it's very versatile in that way as well. So canvas again has a lot of good properties about it. It's very good to use for giclee reproductions, and paper does as well. So like anything else it's really a personal choice, and I just wanted to give you a little bit of information on them both, and do a little more research and you can decide which one you like best."
