Print Specifications: Canvas, Frames & Sizes
ArtsyWall produces giclee prints of classic paintings as gallery-wrapped canvas, framed canvas, and fine art paper. Every artwork is sold as a reproduction print, never as an original painting.
Gallery-wrapped canvas
- Archival canvas: Thick, pH-neutral, acid-free canvas ensures durability and prevents yellowing.
- Finish: Standard semi-gloss finish, with a matte finish available upon request.
- Stretcher bars: Hand-stretched over durable solid wood bars with rounded edges designed to prevent warping.
- Mounting: Arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate display with a pre-installed sawtooth hanger.
- Inks: Giclee printed with calibrated eco-solvent inks for color accuracy and fade resistance for over 100 years.
Framed canvas
- Floater frame: Wood floater frame available in black, white, silver, gold, oak, and walnut.
- Panoramic frames: Panoramic framed prints come in black, walnut, or oak frames only.
- Archival canvas: Uses the same thick, acid-free canvas, hand-stretched over solid wood bars before insertion into the frame.
- Mounting: Arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate display with a pre-installed hanging wire.
- Inks: Giclee printed with calibrated eco-solvent inks for color accuracy and fade resistance exceeding 100 years.
Fine art paper
- Paper stock: Heavyweight 340 gsm, 100% cotton rag paper with a textured matte finish replicating traditional watercolor paper.
- Archival quality: Acid-free paper provides superior longevity, high color gamut, and deep black density.
- Inks and printing: Giclee printed using aqueous pigment inks on calibrated Canon printers for fine detail and fade resistance over 100 years.

Hanging and care
Hanging hardware varies by format, with sawtooth hangers on unframed canvases and hanging wires on framed canvases. As a design rule of thumb, hang artwork so the center sits 57 to 60 inches from the floor. Dust the surface gently with a soft dry cloth when needed. Keep all prints out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat or steam.
