Follow these simple steps to design and prepare your Canvas for print:
- Choose Canvas size
Select one of the available sizes at Cloudprinter.com to design and prepare your Canvas for printing. You may opt for the square, portrait or landscape orientation. - Add Canvas frame thickness
Keep in mind that the edges of your image will be wrapped around a wooden frame.
There are the following frame options at Cloudprinter.com:
— 0.75 inch (20 mm);
— 1.25 inch (30 mm);
— 1.5 inch (40 mm).
Thus, don't forget to add the extra frame thickness wrap at each side of your image. - Set Canvas bleeds
The next step is setting the bleed areas at each side of your Canvas to make sure all important information is kept safe. For this, simply add 10 mm (0.394 in) at each side of the Canvas. Make sure your information is within the bleed limits; colors, background images and the layout of your Canvas design extend to the bleeds area as well, so that there are no white edges after cutting and wrapping your Canvas around the wooden frame. This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Canvas. - Prepare Canvas file for printing
