Creating & Printing Canvases Online
Selling canvases in the photographic industry is a competitive field. So, if you are trying to balance producing quality, high volumes, cost effective prices, all at once, then our solution maybe ideal.
To begin with lets look at how you can generate your customers prints more efficiently. Are you using complicated out of date software that is time consuming in producing print ready files?
Are you looking for an easy way to create and print a canvas online? Then look no further than the QuickPro Canvas Software. This free and easy to use tool allows you to create a canvas in just a few quick steps.
This software allows you to custom create a canvas in a wide range of sizes, as well as orientations. There are a range of border options available to wrap your canvas borders too, from Mirror, Stretch, Black and White, all the way to the colour picker allowing you to select the most common colour within your picture or an average of the colours used.
The latest & exciting feature of the software is the ability to spread a panoramic image over 3 or 4 canvases. Triptych canvases can make a really impressive feature on a blank wall.
The software is optimised for mobile devices and works across both Mac & Desktop PCs.
Here at Adventa like to provide the full package solution. We don’t just supply you with product but also the tools you need to create the products more effectively. It will enable you to create a template for your print to fit our QuickPro ArtWrap Canvas boards perfectly.
Click the below icon to get started and create a canvas with the software:
Check out below how to do it:
Step 1 - Upload a photo
Put your image into a JPEG format and ensure it is under 40mb. Then simply browse your folder and select the image that you have just created.
Step 2 - Select the canvas size
Then select which size of canvas you would like to create. There are a range of options available including: 8 x 8, 8 x 12, 12 x 12, 12 x 16, 16 x 20, 20 x 30.
For rectangle canvases select whether you would like a landscape or a portrait canvas.
Step 3 - Select the border
On this page you can select a wide range of borders such as:
Artwrap –
This handy option uses your image to pull the image across the sides. It creates a great infinity effect. This option is ideal when objects or people are centred in the middle of the image with a lot of background on all sides. This can be displayed without an additional frame.
Mirror - This enables your full picture to be used on the front of the canvas itself rather than the sides. So the border mirrors the image creating a nice subtle border.
Stretch Border – For quite a retro look why not stretch your image across the sides… so the image is clearly only on the front but the colours within the image really stand out along the edges.
Average Colour – If you have hints of some really interesting colours in your photo that you want to bring out more then why not select it as a border to really bring them out in the picture. For a more subtle look increase the pixel rate to get more of an average perspective of the surrounding colours around the picker.
White – If you have a detailed image then a white border will give full attention to the front of the image whilst also giving a modern, timeless look. Or use this one if you would like to put the canvas in a frame.
Black – If you have a bright, vivid or abstract photo to show then a black border is perfect for giving a striking and contemporary look.
Colour Picker - The colour picker enables you to choose an exact colour that’s in the picture to use as a border or increase the pixel size to choose a wider average colour
Step 4 - Generate a PDF
Once you are happy with the border you selected click the forward button. The software will then generate a preview. Left click into the preview image to download the template as a PDF. You can save for later or hit print to get making your canvas.
Step 5 - Printer Settings
When you are ready to print you will need to add 4 either side of the template in order for the canvas template to print at the appropriate size. So, for example, if you wish to have a 12 x 16 canvas, enter 16 x 20 in the printer settings.
Make your canvas
Our QuickPro ArtWrap system works with a range of mediums from cotton canvas to polyester canvas to satin and gloss paper. So once you have decided on your medium and printed your image you are set for making up the canvas itself.
