Hand-Stripped Canvas Prints
The “Mid-South Technique” mounts photographic prints to the canvas in a way that produces the most even and pronounced canvas texture. This is what makes our hand-stripped canvas prints stand apart.
Unlike most labs, we strip the resin-coated layer from the back of the print by hand to expose the paper fibers. This delicate process allows us to spray adhesive directly into the fibers to soften the emulsion, revealing the maximum canvas texture.
We place the prints in a specially designed press to bond them to the canvas under heat and pressure. The print embeds into the canvas threads and will not separate. You can have prints mounted on a 1/8” Masonite board or ¾” stretcher strips.
Quality Hand-Stripped Canvas Prints Finished With Real Laquer
Unlike most labs, we finish the prints with real lacquer, not water-based coatings. Lacquer provides greater protection from UV light, handling, and abrasions. Plus, it has a sheen that adds depth and dimension to the print. Here is a video showing the craftsmanship in our process:
For Those Looking for Unique Sophistication
Our hand-stripped canvas prints will elevate your brand with exceptional craftsmanship and unique appeal. The “Mid-South Technique” involves meticulously removing the canvas edges by hand, resulting in a beautifully refined finish. Therefore, this enhances the overall presentation of the artwork. Unlike mass-produced prints, each hand-stripped canvas is a work of art in itself. By offering a level of detail and care that sets it apart. This technique not only preserves the integrity of the canvas but also adds a personalized touch, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind. Hand-stripped canvas prints embody artistry and attention to detail, ideal for those seeking a sophisticated and timeless look.
