Photographers nowadays have more options than ever, and it's getting cheaper than ever. High quality photographic equipment is getting much more affordable and accessible. You don't have to waste thousands of batteries or rolls of film to get a few good photos when there is easy access to high resolution digital cameras that have all the features you could ever want. Nowadays, nearly everybody has a digital camera or a camera phone of their own to take pictures of loved ones. With a little practice, anyone can be a professional photographer, capturing photos that are real works of art.

The problem comes with printing and displaying these works of art. While it is possible to use a photo printer and get inexpensive prints on photo paper, it is hardly the best solution for your most prized photos. For one, how long can you be sure your prints on paper will last? And can you really be sure that your printer prints at the highest quality possible? Would these prints be good enough to display in an art gallery or a museum?

We've come so far with modern technology for taking pictures, but for printing, we still use the old techniques that don't take into account the needs of modern photographers. Modern photographers demand extremely high-quality, long lasting and exceptionally vibrant prints, all at an accessible price. And to solve this problem, many professional photographers have turned to the age-old, time-tested method of using canvas.

Canvas has been used for centuries to produce the most beautiful and well-known paintings, and you can see how canvas keeps the colours vibrant and the images alive in any museum near you. We've only recently started to print photos on canvas - but as many photographers have discovered, canvas has turned out to be better than any other material for printing photos.

Firstly, the natural texture of matt canvas keeps the print from looking artificial, unlike photo paper. Wide frame printers allow you to print high resolution images with great clarity and beautiful colours. Canvas is extremely durable - if you use the best quality material, you can be sure that your photos will last, under fairly good conditions, for a hundred years or more! The only difficult part of printing on canvas is the process of stretching and framing it. But you don't have to learn how to do it yourself. The best thing about canvas is that it's really affordable, and that's why it's easy and cheap to outsource the work of printing, stretching and framing to professionals.

There are many companies offering canvas prints lovingly stretched and framed by hand, all according to your wishes. Some begin at only $30 for a basic canvas print, and offer more specialized, customized work for higher but still reasonable prices.

Make sure you go to a reputed company that is confident of its work and offers complete satisfaction or a money-back guarantee. Remember that when you consider all of these points the bottom line is that your final output will have a greater value and command higher price tags if your resale them.
