Usually it is observed that an acid free, bright white cotton canvas is used for professional photos on canvas printers. These types of canvasses are very durable and long lasting. They provide for a better image quality and can withstand the pressure when stretched so they do not easily crack. More than often canvas prints are created using large format printers that use special pigmented ink such as Epson printers. These printers depict vibrant colors on the canvas and very high picture resolution. Staple guns are then used to stretch the prints, which are secured onto artist stretcher bars. There are very many sizes to which photos to canvas can be ordered in, for larger sizes a stretcher with crossed bars is utilized which helps averting the frame from twisting. After the canvas has undergone the stretching process, it is then mounted.

Lamination also helps in water proofing the portrait and giving it a scratched resistant surface.
