Photography Prints vs Canvas — Which Is Better?

The Problem with Canvas

Canvas is printed on polyester-cotton fabric that absorbs ink differently from fine art paper. Fine detail is lost. The canvas texture competes with the image, adding graininess that particularly damages smooth gradients — exactly the kind found in seascape photography.

Why Fine Art Paper Wins

Photography was designed for paper. Hahnemühle Photo Rag allows every tonal gradient to be reproduced with precision that canvas cannot match. Paper prints retain colour accuracy and archival integrity for a century or more.
