Today printing your pictures on to canvas

Today printing your pictures on to canvas is becoming increasingly more popular and it couldn't be easier thanks to many online printing companies and certain shops in your high street providing this service. Canvas printing and canvas wall art has been popular for decades and was traditionally used for reproducing paintings and iconic works of art. Most of today's modern large format printers are capable of printing on to canvas rolls of up to 60" or more, and the modern inkjet-based printers can print directly on to canvas. With modern technology it's never been easier to transfer your home photos onto canvas prints.

There are many ways of doing this with the help of a professional canvas printer of course old or new photographs can be scanned on to your computer using a basic scanner, digital images can be uploaded on to your computer using your camera cds or memory cards.

When choosing where to display your canvas artwork there are certain things to remember most professional canvas printers use uv inks which are lightfast for 75 years or more which means hanging them in direct sunlight should not be a problem, Some canvas prints have a spray sealing of waterproof lacquer which means they would be suitable for outdoors if not you can buy this from most arts and crafts stores. Neva hang a canvas print in a place with too much humidity if the canvas feels damp remove it to another less humid room, too much heat is also bad for a canvas so never hang one in a overly heated place i.e. above a radiator.

Re: On Which Social Media Sites Are You Most Active? - @GT, that's why I have two separate FB accounts. One is my personal account, with pictures of my wife and daughter. All pictures are set so that only friends can see them. My other account makes no mention of them by name nor does it have images of them. This is how I keep my family protected from my online life, and those who may want to exploit such information.
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)?
Re: Have you tried Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1 - [quote="orxan":1ys0lz55]I use it. it is probably the fastest and is great for organizing my online business information, but the pictures load slower than Internet Explorer. Also it becomes irritating to open links in Word Document with FireFox. Hope it helps.[/quote:1ys0lz55] Thanks Orxan, I did not notice the part of pictures loading between IE and Firefox
