Prepare an image using these guidelines:
For gallery wrap=add 1.25" on all 4 sides of actual picture content
AND Add 2" more of white space on all 4 sides so there is enough room
for stapling. Print Canvas using Pro9800 7800Canvas_PK (tone down whites)
Cure for 3 days before framing
Making a Canvas
Stretching Frame
Measure the finished FACE of the print
and cut frame to those lengths with
45 degree angles using electric
Miter (chop) saw
For Canvas, place moulding with rabbit up so it lies flat. |
|
Thumbnail frames in center of 45 degree slanty part Place with rabbit facing out so it can cut deep enough if small frame Glue ends (wipe off extra) and drive thumbnails into place Allow frame to dry for 3+ hours |
|
Stretching the Canvas on the Frame |
|
Sand corners lightly | |
Locate the Bottom edge of the print (rem-.625" is extra to wrap around the frame) | |
Fold and crease at that edge. Putting a weight on the excess helps. |
