From a Snapshot to Art on the Wall - Photos on Canvas

Cambridge, UK. 6 March 2007. Â Taking good photographs hasnever been easier. Many digital images lingering on computer hard drives could shineif being displayed on an office wall, the reception or in the sitting room at home.Until recently photo canvas printing was done by small workshops at horrendousprices. FotoInsight claims to apply the latest technology and efficient productionmethods to offer what it calls big canvas prints at low prices.

FotoInsight, a specialist serving amateur and professional photographers alike,prints canvases in sizes from 20x30cm (minimum resolution 800 x 1.100 Pixel) to60x80 cm (2.500 x 3.300 pixel recommended). FotoInsight states that it uses man madeoptimised fabrics and fade resistant "archival" inks to guarantee longevity andbrilliant colours. The hi-tech inks penetrate deep into the fabric and can thereforebe printed and mounted over the edges of the wooden frame. Standardised sizes allowa largely automatic production process. According to FotoInsight this ensuresconstant quality and long durability at lower prices for the first time.

Frame mounted giclee prints convert holiday snaps into large format artwork. Thefine structure of the fabric creates additional depth, and the print extending overthe frame generates a 3D effect on the wall. As the durable fabrics are fullymounted no additional frame is required, the image can be put straight onto a wall.It is a great present suitable for the home as well as the offices. Photo prints oncanvas are also well suited for digital art created with image editing software andfilters. FotoInsight Managing Director Klaas Brumann states:  Image editing softwarelike Photoshop or ArtMasterPro from Fo2PiX helps to create impressive digital artfor which the output of an inkjet printer canÂ't do justice. Digital editing softwarecreates new, impressive applications for mounted canvases. Compared to imagesbehind glass frames, a photo screen print or canvas shows more detail and a finestructure. Due to the fabric folding around the frame it also shows greater depth.

"Quality is our priority. All materials we use are subject to extensive testing andare guaranteed by their manufacturers to last 100 years. This guarantee extends tophoto printing on real photographic paper as well as to the screen print",emphasises Dr Rolf Hollander, CEO of FotoInsight's production partner and Europe'slargest photo finisher.
