Question
How does canvas printing differ from standard paper printing?
Answer
The core difference is the surface. Canvas is a woven fabric that absorbs ink differently than smooth or coated paper, which changes how color, detail, and texture come across.
| Feature | Canvas | Coated paper |
|---|---|---|
| Texture | woven and tactile | smooth and flat |
| Color | softer, slightly warmer | crisp and punchy |
| Fine detail | slightly softened | very sharp |
| Overall feel | artistic, gallery-like | clean, commercial |
Because very small text and fine lines can lose a little crispness on the weave, bold designs with high contrast tend to look their best on canvas.
