What is a Master Canvas Mount?
There are many steps to prepare the wooden stretchers frames, the canvas, and the print before the actual embedding process into the canvas takes place.
Cotton canvas is scraped and buffed to remove areas that need smoothing.
Then the print itself (the emulsion) is separated by hand from its paper backing.
The canvas is cut to size and rolled with special adhesive to accept the embedding of the print into the canvas cloth.
Now the print is ready to be pressed, with heat and pressure into the canvas cloth.
When the embedding process is finished, your print is stretched onto wooden frames and sealed with a (UV) ultraviolet protective spray.
Fine Art Master Canvas Images are unique in that with each pressing there lie distinctive differences within the embedded print and canvas, so you truly have a one of a kind image.
It is more costly, more time consuming, and more human craftsmanship is involved, and the reason so few people still use this process today.
Your statement piece will have all the natural slubs and weave of a Fine Canvas Image and it will look unlike those very predictable canvases you are so used to seeing.
This is what separates us from machine printed consumer canvases.
