Talk:Canvas print

not the same as a stretched canvas

While a canvas print may in fact be "a kind of" stretched canvas, I think this opening statement is misleading because a canvas print may or may not be stretched on a frame, whereas a "stretched canvas" is canvas stretched over stretcher boards; the conventional inference is that the canvas is not painted, but it may be -- although a painted canvas is more often called a "painting". The relatively new technology of printing onto canvas is rightly distinguished from the traditional connotation of 'a canvas' and as such, "stretched canvas print" would be a more accurate term for what the previous writer seems to have been describing. While this is probably the more usual state of a printed canvas product, it is not the definitive state. Suzensez (talk) 14:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I would note that you and the other editor making changes may be right, but this needs to be referenced by some existent published source, referencing your own knowledge does not improve the article. 69.139.167.254 (talk) 16:46, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

I thought this was a common knowledge kind of thing, but in fact I couldn't find anything to support it. The FATG say canvas needs to be stretched, so I cited this... DavidLaurenson (talk) 19:55, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Descriptions

The popularity of canvas prints has been aided by the general development of and increased accessibility to graphics technology, including printers and software. The benefits of the Giclée process over traditional methods to printmakers include lower set-up and maintenance costs. This, combined with the continued rise in computer use has allowed individual artists and photographers, as well as large printhouses, to create prints of their work to sell. Online galleries, in comparison to traditional retail outlets allow prints to be sold on an on-demand basis, as well as the means to offer customised canvas prints.

I moved the above paragraph to talk because it has many problems. No references showing this method is more popular. These methods are cheaper compared to what? Online galleries only sell on demand? This all sounds like opinion. Giclee is not a process, its a trade name. The "process" would be inkjet printing. 75.196.194.31 (talk) 03:59, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
