F.A.Q
What is Gallery Wrapping?
Gallery wrapping is the method used when stretching a canvas
print so that it wraps around the sides of stretcher bars
(frame).
All of the canvas art on didgi widgi is gallery
wrapped on 1½" stretcher bars and has mirrored edges (see
photo) .
To complete this process we carefully tuck in and fold
each corner ensuring no unsightly edges can be seen. We
then neatly secure the canvas to the back of the frame
hiding all the fixings. Finally, we put stretcher wedges
into all four corners to ensure the canvas is wrapped as
tight as possible over the stretcher bars.
What Materials Do You Use and Will My Print Last?
We use only the finest possible canvas, and museum quality
stretcher bars for all of our canvas prints and this is complemented
by HP Vivera Pigment based colour and lightfast inks, which
are guaranteed fade resistant for a minimum of 200 years.
This means all of our canvas prints will outlast our customers!
We also coat each canvas with a layer of varnish which
helps prevent marking/scratching, your canvas then becomes
waterproof so basically you can wipe the print with a cloth
either dry or damp without fear of damaging it and it also
provides an additional UV barrier protection.
What kind of wood do you use for your stretcher bars?
We use 1½" Museum Quality Artists
Stretcher Bars which are made of the finest quality kiln
dried fir wood. Each stretcher bar has a rounded back edge
which is designed to ensure that the canvas is always kept
a full 1/2" above
the stretcher bar to ensure that there can be no ghost impressions
on the canvas.
Once I Get My Print, How Do I Hang It?
We supply hanging kits with all of our prints so putting
them up on the wall is as easy as banging in a picture hook.
No more messing around with screws and drills! The unique
design of the CWH Canvas Hanger included in the kit, incorporates
a cut-out which allows the print to be hung on a standard
2 pin picture hook (also supplied). Using these hangers ensures
that the finished print is 'pulled' flush to the wall and
results in a very secure fixing with minimum fuss.
The size I ideally want isn't listed. Can you supply my canvas print
in a custom size?
Yes this is not a problem. We can accomodate most sizes,
simply contact
us by email or phone with what size you have in mind
and we'll let you know the cost.

Will the colours I see on screen be the same as the finished canvas?

vary. If there is a particular colour match you need please
