4 tips for buying canvas prints.
If you have known me for any amount of time, you know I constantly preach about having a quality scan to produce quality canvas prints. This week I want to touch on a subject that separates the giclee industry into two categories: 1. Those who use the low priced canvas. 2. Those who use the best quality canvas. This is a subject that shows up in just about every retail industry there is. As we all know, you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, sometimes we pay a premium thinking we are getting better quality when in fact, the premium is just putting more money in the sellers pocket and you got a low quality product. Here are a few tips to avoid getting burned when buying canvas prints either to re-sell or for personal use. 1.
