Types of stretching

After printing, the canvas is stretched onto a stretcher - a wooden frame made of pine logs. There are several types of stretching the canvas on a stretcher. The type of stretch depends on how the picture will be used in the future.

• Standard - the image is placed only on the front side of the stretcher, staples, in order to secure the canvas, are driven into the end of the stretcher. It is used in cases when the work will be further framed.
• Studio - before stretching, the image is aligned to the size of the stretcher, the ends of the stretcher are closed with an unprinted field. The staples are driven into the back of the subframe.
• Gallery is the most common type of canvas stretching. The end of the stretcher is tightened with a sealed field, and it becomes a continuation of the picture. Part of the printed image is wrapped on the ends, closing them, the canvas is fixed in the same way as in the case of studio stretching: with staples at the back. For this type of stretch, it is necessary to add 5 cm overhangs horizontally and vertically to the bend to the original size of the picture.
