Canvas Printing - Art-Gallery Quality Canvas Prints
Getting your photographs printed on canvas means your precious pictures will last forever – long-lasting artworks that perfectly capture your special memories.
What is a Canvas Print?
Canvas Printing, or Giclee Printing (pronounced Zhee-Clay) is a process in which a picture of photograph is printed on a piece of high-quality canvas and then stretched around a hardwood frame. Canvas Prints feature in art galleries across the world.
Why should you get a Canvas Print?
Some pictures and photographs are special. They deserve to be highlighted and made to last forever. These moments in life make ideal candidates for canvas prints.

What does Brilliant Prints offer?
At every step in the making of the Canvas Print, Brilliant Prints uses the best materials, processes and skills. Find out about:
Design (back)
We treat each picture as a candidate for a masterpiece. Our talented artists spend quality time preparing and processing your picture. This way you’ll get the perfect size and the exact colour-shades.
Canvas (back)
The canvas we use is imported from North America. It is the same canvas which leading art-galleries use to display their pictures. It is the best canvas in the market because it is:
-
Made of 100% cotton
-
Bright white in colour – this is perfect for showcasing brilliant hues and sharp definition.
-
Water- resistant
-
Archival rated to 75+ years
-
Heavyweight (more like denim than the bed-sheet-like imitation which other print-makers use)
-
More textured than most canvases on the market

Printing (back)
We offer two kinds of printing:
1. Colour prints
Our Epson Ultrachrome Inks are capable of producting a very wide spectrum of colours, hues and shades.
These inks have been tested by the Wilhelm Institute, and are guaranteed to remain vibrant for at least 75 years.
2. Black & White prints
Usually Canvas Printing companies print their B&W portraits using colour printers. This results in a B&W picture lacking in depth, shades and shadows. Prints can also end up with unsightly colour casts. In contrast, Pictures printed with our 6-channel dedicated B&W printer have perfect density and smooth tonal transitions. Your B&W image never looked so good!
Lamination (back)
All our canvas prints receive a coating of premium North-American laminate at no extra cost. Our specialized equipment ensures an even and smooth coating of laminate. You can choose from gloss, semi-gloss and matte laminations. Lamination gives your print:
-
Protection against dust, water and inquisitive fingers
-
Excellent protection against fading – 75 years
-
Anti-fungal compounds that restrict the growth of mould
-
Anti-graffiti properties
-
Protection from abrasion, bumps and scratches
Framing (back)
Great quality framing gives your canvas print the stylish final touch. We pride ourselves on hand-crafting frames that are:
-
Made of kiln-dried Meranti, the frames are made to last and look good as new for the life of the print – quite unlike the pine wood which other print companies use
-
Resistant to twisting, warping and other defects.
-
Uniform in appearance and sourced from renewable forests – so the timber is straight-grained and uniform.
-
Finely Profiled - We profile both sides of the timber. This way your prints will sit perfectly flat against the wall and show no visible framing line on the front of the canvas.


Finishing (back)
Our specialized finishing adds that final touch to complete your master piece. This includes:
- Careful, fine trimming of excess canvas
- Finishing the back of the print with 100% acid-free tape to provide dust protection.
- Inserting high-quality sturdy hooks, along with a slender plastic-covered stainless steelchain to facilitate easy and safe hanging
