Home Decoration Takes a new Dimension Online
The resolution of digital cameras is rising constantly. Many digital photographs could impress at home or in an office meeting room, when printed as a laminated poster or a stretched canvas in a floating frame. With the right image it makes a worthy present.
FotoInsight, a specialist serving amateur and professional photographers alike, prints canvases in different sizes from 20x30 cm / 12”x8” (minimum resolution 800 x 1100 pixel) to 60x80 cm / 32”x24” (2500 x 3300 pixel recommended). FotoInsight states that it uses man made optimised fibres and fade-resistant "archival" inks to guarantee longevity and brilliant colours. The hi-tech inks penetrate deep into the fabric and can therefore be printed and mounted over the edges of the wooden frame. Standardised sizes allow a largely automatic production process. According to FotoInsight this ensures constant quality and long durability at lower prices for the first time.
NEW: Laminated and framed poster prints
While a photo canvas print will be stretched over a wooden frame, FotoInsight can also mount posters onto a "Deco-block“, specially made to hang the laminated and framed posters straight onto a wall. The so called Deco-block was originally developed to hang art prints. It simulates the wood frame used to stretch a canvas. FotoInsight laminates the poster prints onto the block and then seales the surface with a layer of matt UV-protection vanish. The sealed surface warrants a much improved humidity and UV-resistance. The website provides a preview of the poster to help choose among a range of Nielsen wood frames.
Collage Poster Tool
With the new version of software its “Designer” FotoInsight provides tools to create collage posters. For a collage up to 98 images can be layered to form a single poster print, which optionally can come laminated and framed.
Framed poster and canvas prints elevate holiday snaps to impressive works of printed art. The fine structure of a canvas lends an artistic impression and adds depth when stretched over a 1/2“ deep frame. Large, framed photo prints become a unique pieces of art and are an ideal present, most appropriate to decorate a home or an imposing office space. Photo canvas printing is also well suited for digital art created with image editing software tools and filters. FotoInsight's Managing Director Klaas Brumann states: "The traditional canvas print has received a completely new importance. At FotoInsight we offer the high print quality for impressive prints.“ Unlike a poster behind a glass frame a canvas print, with its fine structure looks thorough and avoids reflections. "Quality is our priority. All materials we use are subject to extensive testing and are guaranteed by their manufacturers to last 100 years. This guarantee extends to poster printing on real photographic paper as well as to the canvas print", emphasises Dr. Rolf Hollander, CEO of FotoInsight's production partner and Europe's largest photo finisher.
Convenient and flexible
Ordering framed prints in FotoInsight's Deco Shop is as easy as with traditional photographic prints, poster or photo books. A clearly structured overview of formats and costs with their respective recommended resolution come together with a user friendly interface. FotoInsight’s Head of Communications states: “The mounted photo canvas is an ideal present. And the collage poster feature is a great addition for families.” The hi-tech production processes enable FotoInsight to provide the framed laminated poster prints from £17.99 (postage & packaging from £2.80) – prices well below of what used to be expected from framed prints, make it an ideal present.

Hi-Tech Photo Canvas Export Across Europe
Software makes it easy to create impressive artistic prints from manipulated digital images. This has helped producers of quality, large format canvas printing services. FotoInsight of Cambridge is launching its online canvas service in France, Spain and is now selling in 32 countries.
According to FotoInsight, thousands of its online photo printing customers have taken advantage of its new production processes. Modern fabrics, optimised for ink absorption and long durability and standardised sizes which allow a largely automatised production process result in professional quality of a high continuity and durability at lower prices.
Thousands of digital camera users have used FotoInsight to have their photos printed into a photobook or on a canvas. The product has been so succesful, that FotoInsight is now extending its canvas offering to the Mediterranean countries. FotoInsight's Managing Director Klaas Brumann explains the move: “Photo canvas prints are an ideal gift, but sending large format parcels is costly. FotoInsight offers direct shipment of canvases to overseas addresses, ideal for birthday or Christmas gifts. France and Spain are among the most popular holiday and retirement destinations. We expect that both our English and local language services will be popular in the Mediterranean countries.”
FotoInsight, a specialist serving amateur and professional photographers alike, prints canvas in sizes from 20x30 cm (minimum resolution 800 x 1.100 Pixel) to 60x80 cm (2.500 x 3.300 pixel recommended). FotoInsight states that it uses special synthetic fibres and fade resistant "archival" inks to guarantee longevity and brilliant colours. The hi-tech inks penetrate deep into the fabric and can therefore be printed and mounted over the edges of the wooden frame. Standardised sizes allow a largely automatic production process. According to FotoInsight this ensures constant quality and long durability at a lower price for the first time.
"Quality is our priority. All materials we use are subject to extensive testing and are guaranteed by their manufacturers to last 100 years. This guarantee extends to photo printing on real photographic paper as well as to the canvas print", emphasises Dr. Rolf Hollander, CEO of FotoInsight's production partner and Europe's largest photo finisher.
Frame mounted canvas prints convert holiday snaps into large format artwork. The fine structure of the fabric creates additional depth, and the print extending over the frame generates a 3D effect on the wall. As the durable fabrics are fully mounted no additional frame is required, the image can be put straight onto a wall. It is a great present suitable for the home as well as the office. Photo prints on canvas are also well suited for digital art created with image editing software and filters. FotoInsight's Managing Director Klaas Brumann states: “Image editing software helps to create impressive digital art for which the output of an inkjet printer can’t do justice. Digital editing software creates new, impressive applications for mounted canvases.” Compared to images behind glass frames, a photo screen print or canvas shows more detail and a fine structure. Due to the fabric folding around the frame it also shows greater depth.

New: Digital pictures as large canvas prints; in time for Mother's Day
From a snapshot to art on the wall
Photos on Canvas
A new service using long lasting fibres mounted onto a wooden frame for high quality, large format canvas prints is being launched during “Focus-Exhibition-Week” and in time for “Mother’s Day” by FotoInsight. The company is known for its photo gift and photo book printing to be competitive through large volume, hi-tech production processes.
Taking good photographs has never been easier. Many digital images lingering on computer hard drives could shine if being displayed on an office wall, the reception or in the sitting room at home. Until recently photo canvas printing was done by small workshops at horrendous prices. FotoInsight claims to apply the latest technology and efficient production methods to offer what it calls big canvas prints at low prices.
FotoInsight, a specialist serving amateur and professional photographers alike, prints canvases in sizes from 20x30cm (minimum resolution 800x1.100 pixel) to 60x80 cm (2.500 x 3.300 pixel recommended).

The hi-tech inks penetrate deep into the fabric and can therefore be printed and mounted over the edges of the wooden frame. Standardised sizes allow a largely automatic production process. According to FotoInsight this ensures constant quality and long durability at lower prices for the first time.
Frame mounted giclee prints convert holiday snaps into large format artwork. The fine structure of the fabric creates additional depth, and the print extending over the frame generates a 3D effect on the wall. As the durable fabrics are fully mounted no additional frame is required, the image can be put straight onto a wall. It is a great present suitable for the home as well as the offices. Photo prints on canvas are also well suited for digital art created with image editing software and filters. FotoInsight Managing Director Klaas Brumann states: “Image editing software like Photoshop or ArtMasterPro from Fo2PiX helps to create impressive digital art for which the output of an inkjet printer can’t do justice. Digital editing software creates new, impressive applications for mounted canvases.” Compared to images behind glass frames, a photo screen print or canvas shows more detail and a fine structure. Due to the fabric folding around the frame it also shows greater depth.
"Quality is our priority. All materials we use are subject to extensive testing and are guaranteed by their manufacturers to last 100 years.

Ordering canvas prints is as easy as with traditional photographic prints, poster or photo books. A clearly structured overview of formats and costs with their respective recommended resolution come together with a user friendly interface at FotoInsight web shop. FotoInsight ships mounted canvas prints in the UK, Ireland and 20 European countries also with a separate delivery address. In view of the package sizes this appears to be ideal for sending presents directly to friends and family. FotoInsight’s Head of Communications states: “The mounted canvas print is an ideal mother’s day present. With so many grandmothers living apart from their grown up children and grandchildren, the FotoInsight Team is happy to help with international direct shipments of mother’s day photo presents.” The hi-tech production processes enable FotoInsight to provide the frame mounted prints from £24.99 (plus £2.99 for postageand packaging) – prices well below of what used to be expected from mounted canvas prints, make it an ideal gift for Mother’s Day.
