Canvas prints
Printed with archival inks on canvas, then stretched/wrapped so it arrives ready to hang. Canvas has a more ‘painted natural texture’, and is coated for protection. Perfect if you love that bold, tactile natural look.

Fine art paper prints
Printed with archival inks on fine art paper for crisper detail. These are usually framed under glass (often with a border), giving that clean, gallery-style feel.

If you’re deciding between the two, think:
Canvas = natural + texture
Fine art paper = detail + gallery polish

Which one are you? Canvas or paper? 🤍
