Canvas Techniques
Our Canvas Variations
1. Chiqago Standard Canvas
Our definition of "Standard" is anything but basic. We use a high-quality Italian canvas designed specifically for professional digital printing. This material is stretched over a solid, natural pine wood frame, ensuring the structure remains rigid and durable.
Key Features:
- Gallery Wrap: The image is printed around the edges, so no external frame is required. It's ready to hang immediately.
- Large Format Printing: We use high-resolution plotters that capture every detail.
- UV Protection: The colors remain vibrant and do not fade, even in well-lit rooms.
2. Chiqago Premium Print Hand-Finished
For those seeking the authentic look of a traditional oil painting. We take our high-resolution Standard print and apply a specialized transparent structure gel by hand. This manual process adds a tangible texture to the surface.
The Premium Difference:
- Brushstroke Texture: You can see and feel the brushstrokes on the canvas surface.
- Depth & Gloss: The gel adds a subtle sheen and depth to the colors, mimicking an artist's varnish.
- Unique Artistry: Because the gel is applied by a person, not a machine, every piece is slightly unique.
3. XXL Self-Assembly DIY Kit
Huge art usually comes with huge shipping costs and logistical nightmares (like fitting it through a door). We solved this with our smart DIY system. You receive the canvas rolled up and a frame that you can easily assemble yourself.
Why choose XXL?
- Massive Scale: Allows for oversized art that wouldn't fit in a standard delivery van.
- Easy Transport: Delivered in a compact box.
- Simple Assembly: The frame snaps together easily without needing specialized technical skills. Just assemble the frame and stretch the canvas over it.
