Canvas prints and art prints differ primarily in terms of the surface they are printed on. Prints are made of paper, and canvas prints are made of canvas. The paper of an art print will be thinner than a canvas print, and it will look better framed.
Art prints have less texture than canvas, which makes them easier to handle. Art prints come in a variety of sizes and styles. You can choose a print that is perfect for your home or office, or you can buy a large print to hang on your wall.

Will canvas prints fade?
It’s convenient, but it also means that printed canvases can fade over time. Exposure to sunlight can be damaging. Your favorite work of art can be adversely affected by sunlight and UV rays. The sun can affect your artwork in a number of ways. The best way to protect your art is to keep it away from direct sunlight.
If you live in an area that gets a lot of sunlight, you may want to consider using a UV-blocking spray. This spray will block UV light from reaching the surface of the artwork, preventing it from fading. You can find UV blocking sprays at your local art supply store or online.

How are canvas prints made?
A canvas print, not to be confused with a canvas painting, is an image printed from an inkjet printer onto canvas. The canvas is stretched onto a frame after being printed. Some people prefer framed borders while others prefer a frameless border. Frameless borders are the most common type of canvas border. They are made from a single piece of paper that is cut to fit the frame of the print.
The paper is then folded over to create the border, and the edges are smoothed out to make it look like it’s been framed. This is a great option if you want a print that will look great on a wall, but you don’t want to spend a lot of money on framing. If you’re looking for something a little more affordable, you can also get a framed print and frame it yourself.
