Canvas Panel Sets
Canvas panel sets is the process of taking a photograph or artwork
and dividing it up into three or more prints that are stretched
and mounted then hung on a wall, evenly spaced apart. The process
is very popular with digital artists as well as landscape photographers
looking to provide a unique design for their clients in a contemporary
panoramic style.
 
Panels can be ordered online as individual prints or may need
to be custom ordered if a gallery wrap method (image wraps around
the sides) is required.
For the bet presentation, since these are usually hung unframed,
we recommend the gloss canvas protected with a finish then gallery
wrapped over a 1.5 inch deep mounting frame. A matte canvas can
be used however we do not recommend the gallery wrapped method
on matte canvas since flaking and ink peeling can occur when you
wrap the image all the way around the sides.
Calculating Price
Mounting Cost – Per Panel
The cost of mounting on a standard ¾ inch deep frame
can be calculated on our pricing page however we recommend
that you also have the staples hidden in the back if you
are hanging it unframed.
If you want the image gallery wrapped, the mounting frame
the mounting price is based upon the total length of all
four sides then multiplied by $0.55. For instance, if you
have a panel that is 16 x 24 inches then you would add the
length of each side (16 + 16 + 24 + 24 = 80) then you would
multiply the sum by the above per inch cost (80 x $0.55 =
$44). This would give you the mounting cost for that single
panel. |
Printing Cost – Per Panel
The cost of the print would be based upon our standard square
inch price for the particular canvas. As of December 2004,
the cost per square inch for the gloss canvas with a protective
finish is $0.12 per square inch. As an example to calculate
the cost of a 16 x 24 panel you would multiply 16 x 24 x
$0.12 = $46.08.
For gallery wrapped panels, where the image to wrap around
the sides, then you would need to add 3 extra inches to the
width and height of the print to account for the amount of
print that wraps around the sides. For instance, if the canvas
is to mount over a 16 x 24 inch frame then you would need
to price the printing of that panel based upon an image that
is 19 x 27 inches. You would then multiply as follows: 19
x 27 x $0.12 = $61.56. |
