Wildlife canvas printing for the fine art collector

What better way to adorn your walls than with high quality printed canvas art? Designed for the consummate art connoisseur, but equally suitable for classy office walls and the home, our printed canvas is durable and our prints are of the finest quality.

And with a variety of wildlife images available, buyers have a selection of stunning canvases to browse through. Our products are also supplied to the tourist industry, with curio shops stocking some of our best wildlife printed canvas.

We offer our clients the best quality canvas printing in South Africa.  

Our printed canvas is ideal for art buyers and interior designers looking to make a big impression with their room layout. With single edition canvas prints available, a space can become truly unique. Buying first edition prints is an option we have available when you are the first buyer. This means that you or your client, should you be an interior decorator, will have the opportunity to own an exclusive fine art print.

It is not just about the stunning image that will adorn your canvas of choice, but also the longevity of the canvas used. The canvas we use for the prints is carefully selected. A number of elements are taken into account when selecting the canvas to be used. But the most important elements are texture, durability and, of course, quality. Canvas printing is only as good as the quality of the canvas used. By using high quality materials, our prints not only look fantastic but they also have a great texture. And to make the process more affordable, we also only use canvas that is cost effective.

Our Canvas

We use two types of canvas for our prints; Epsom Water Resistant Matte Canvas and Epson Premium Canvas Satin.

The Epsom Water Resistant Matte Canvas is what its name states; it’s water resistant. This quality gives the printed canvas extra durability, among other things. This poly/cotton blend gives the printed canvas a matte look while it is also ideal for stretching for framing purposes.

The other canvas we use for our prints is the Epson Premium Canvas Satin. Also a poly/cotton blend, this is the canvas ideally used for those looking for a glossy finish. This canvas is also water resistant and can be stretched for framing. For the highest image resolution, this is the canvas to use.

Canvas Sizes (Printed Canvas Dimensions)

In terms of the size of the printed canvas, we offer three standard options, while we are also open to doing custom sizing. The three standard options we have are as follows:

• A2 (594mm x 420mm)
• A1 (841mm x 594mm)
• A0 (1189mm x 841mm)

The Images

While our passion lies in printing wildlife wall art, creating wildlife canvas prints is not where our skills end. Often we have clients come to us with images of their own which they want to be turned into a quality printed wall canvas. Not only do we offer the option of doing custom printed canvas at affordable prices, but we will also edit the photograph at no extra charge.

An image might look amazing on a computer screen, but when blown up to the right size for a canvas, the resolution can take a beating. We are specialists in Lightroom as well as Photoshop, so any little flaws that might ruin an otherwise fantastic printed canvas can be fixed. We’ll talk to you about the style and form you want your image to take once it is printed before the project is complete.

For South African customers, the printed canvas can be mounted, stretched and delivered to destinations all over the country.

A little bit about us

There is a passion behind the work that we do. We are a division of one of the best photographic companies in South Africa, Africa Photographic Services, which is a company that specialises in capturing exceptional wildlife images from the nearby safari destinations, such as the Kruger National Park. This also means we have access to 100% unique images. Our prints have been featured in safari lodges while they are also often bought by private art buyers in search of something unique to add to their growing art collection.

We don’t just offer canvas prints. As a part of our services, we offer a mock-up service for interior designers. Not knowing how a print is going to look on the wall, once it is paired with all of the other design elements, is a challenge few interior designers can afford to ignore. Our mock-up service will give you a great visual tool to use for your clients, as well as for you as a designer. The mock up will guarantee that you are able to select the right size print while it will also show you how colours will blend into your space.

To give you a mock up, either you send us the photo you intend to use or you select one from our print selection. We’ll then catch up with you via Skype, email or over the phone to find out more about your requirements, especially size. We then use the image and your list of requirements to create a number of mock ups, which will be your guide to the look and feel of space after the canvas has been hung. If you are happy with the look, we’ll print the canvas and ship it to you.
