Canvas printing and technology

In thy last few years inkjet technology has come a long way which is great for those interested in canvas printing. This means that companies that specialise in canvas printing can offer your pictures and artwork printed on canvas at low cost effective prices. This also means when printing your pictures on to canvas your image can be reproduced with great quality with your picture looking great. With the improvements most images can be enlarged to a1 and in some cases allot bigger without distorting the original image.

For canvas printing the ideal inks are as follows pigment, uv and solvent, solvent being the best for canvases that would b displayed outdoors, all of these are light fast 75 years meaning that they can be displayed in direct sunlight without fear of it fading. Most dye based inks are not suitable for canvas printing these will fade with uv light even indoors if a window is present, some may claim they are lightfast but this is only true when placed behind uv protected glass.

Some photos are not ideal for canvas printing as they may have image mater edge to edge so u may lose some of the image when you come to wrap the canvas round the frames. There are a variety of methods to solve this problem this is where photo shop can be very useful. If the image is lost when wrapping round the frame one option is to have your image on the face which you will have your image on the front of the frame and not going round the sides most chose to have plain white sides when using this method but if you would so like you can have the sides in whatever colour you like. Another way around this problem is to use an effect called mirroring where you duplicate the image round the sides so it blends in but you don't lose any of the original images.

Another great tool you can use in photo shop is red eye, when you have taken a photo of friends or family often you get a bad effect called red eye where the eyes appear to be red most people would think these photos are not any good for turning into canvas prints which is wrong as even with the basic photo shop this can be easily corrected restoring eyes back to their original colour.

Canvas printing can be an easy process but only if you have the right tools and the right experience. if you don't have these then I would recommend that you seek either expert advice or to hire a professional printer to print and frame your work for you. This way you know that the job will be done correct with the right materials and the right approach and view you would expect a canvas print to be. Then all there is left for you to do is decide where to hang your beautifully made canvas print

Re: Focus groups - Regarding free questioners, how do they work, and where are they. I am very aware that 99.999% of t-shirts start ups do not make it. I am also very aware that I need to be careful and not give awayadvertise my thoughts before I actually have them in production (and are thus protected). So putting something out there, like a list of text sayings that would go with my registered trademark...isn't that giving them away and thus loosing the right to use them myself? I have printed shirts (have sold some, gave some away), I am looking into putting up a web site, but am concerned about which of the text sayings to use. I am not a shirt printer, printing many variations of my shirt to try to reach different age groups and genders and individual tastes is very expensive. Doing small runs of shirts is even more expensive. I would like to determine if I should print on both male and female shirts, or just go with males shirts and hope that women will buy them. I think females and adult males will prefer the pocketshoulder area small printing, but I also think that the young crowd wants the large across the chest printing (front of the shirt)...should I just start with one (pocket printing), for now? My shirts cost more because there is printing on both sides of the shirt. The front has the trademark saying, and the back has a graphic logo that (I think) is the best representation of the trademark text, and, a short text saying that fits the trademark (and there can be many of them that can be use, thus my need to focus in on the ones that might be more likely to get my business off the ground). There are two colors used on each side of the shirt (the more colors the more expense). On top of this the registration office is requiring me to also print the trademark on a label on the shirt (one color printing), so, there are three screens, and thus three shirt runs. I think that that two sided printing is more classy, and that trying to put the trademark, the logo, and the related text saying on the one side (front), would be too busy...but should I consider this. Should I consider just putting the trademark by itself on the front of the shirt (and nothing else front and back). So, these are the reasons that I was trying to find out about focus groups. I would like do do as much as this the right way from the beginning rather then start out with something that by trial and error is expensive, and that might be remembered as tacky later on. I recognize that these decisions are ultimately mine, and, that probably no one reading this forum or this posting are t-shirt business types. I am just trying to give you an idea of the kinds of decisions that I am trying to make, without throwing a lot of my money away in the process...yes, I realize that not many things go right the first time or all the time. If I PM anyone here with images of my shirts (for their opioions of what I have done so far), do I first need them to sign a non-disclosure, and, do I need to be concerned that they may not be in the US (where I am)?
Unable to continue! - Thanks Kevin for your reply! Its just that I find it sort of difficult that if ever I want out, I must leave the technology behind and I am unable to continue other products using the patented technology. After all, I did invent it didn't I? Now, I know that the management side is just as important as the R&D, but lets face it, if I (the inventor) has invested 10000 unpaid personal hours in developing all this technology, all the good management in the world would be worth nothing without my innitial invested effort which went into the product! I sort of feel a little trapped! Thankyou for your warm greeting and hope to chat with you again! PS thanks for the tip about the clause that would depict really not wanting to work with someone I dislike. with regards Robert
