Printing on Canvas 300/500gsm
These versatile and durable custom Canvas fabrics are just waiting for you to find their perfect use. Give them a try.
Surface textures
With a characteristically stiff handle, our custom Canvas fabrics have a structured drape. These canvases are both simultaneously soft on their face, and have a texture which follows their gradient, making them both tightly woven, solid surfaces. These both have matt finishes and a coarse back surface. There is slightly more relief on the surface area of the Canvas 500, due to its thicker threads.
Print detail
With a white base to both fabrics, printed colours have a bold contrast with the background. The results are very neat, well pressed lines. As you hold the fabric up to the light you will notice the opacity. The thicker and heavier the weight of the fabric, the more stiff and solid it is. The heavier weight Canvas, 500gsm, has a very low lustre on the face surface of the fabric, which is only noticeable due to the size of the threads being larger in comparison to the 300gsm. The print quality is not interrupted, just slightly textured.
Usage
This fabric lends itself well to a whole host of functions due to its diverse and durable qualities. From sails to ground cloths, artist canvas to embroidery, upholstery to cushions and wall art to variations of bags. This custom made Canvas fabric is a hardy material which you will find uses for wherever you look.

Frequently asked questions on Woven Canvas 500gsm/Woven Canvas 300gsm:
As the custom printed Canvas fabric is stiff, does this make it rough to the touch?
The Canvas material is firm but not uncomfortable. It has a strong structured feel to it at first, which softeners with use leaving a comfortable texture.To try for yourself, purchase a fabric swatch pack or try a test print sample.What is the difference between the 300gsm and 500gsm?
The weight is different by 200gsm, but apart from that, the 300gsm has a finer tighter weave, providing a finer texture for printing on. Having said this the 500gsm still has a crisp and detailed print quality, with a slightly more obvious texture.Is this a fabric often used for interior furnishings?
Canvas is advised for interior accessories such as wall hangings and big cushions. It can be used on furnishings, for a deckchair or footstools, however it is not the softest option for a sofa. It is suitable for garden cushions as it is very hardy so can stand up to everyday wear and tear and is suitable for machine washing.Delivery time & costs

Print Guideline
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
If each individual colour is specifically important to your design, choose CYMK as our setup will print each colour with the closest possible match within our available range. If the relationship between the colours within the image is more important choose RGB; this will reduce all colours equally to fit within our range.
Maximum dimensions
There is no limit on the length of the fabric that you can order. We have a preview design window set up to 5m max to visualise the print, but that's not a print limit. If you'd like to order more, you can increase the quantity (x2 for 10m or x 4 for 20m for e.g.) and then your orders can be as long as you'd like, with a built in automatic volume discount too. The maximum print width of each fabric can be found on the individual fabric pages or in our design interface.
Do I need to incorporate white space within my design if I want a border or some cutting space?
Yes, that might help you! Always incorporate any extra space or boarders into your purchased fabric size. We trim squarely around fabric samples and fabric prints, leaving approximately 5mm white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.
Do you print on fabric a customer supplies?
Unfortunately not; we like to test meticulously so that we know what gets best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, and if you have access to a heat press you can press your own fabrics easily.
What is the situation with material shrinkage?
Just like many fabric printing processes, there is the potential for shrinkage. Depending on the fabric, please expect and allow between 2-6% shrinkage which you need to plan for in your dimensions.
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?
We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.
Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them like you do with the normal fabric labels?
At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
Sizing For Hemming And Shrinkage
We have a full Cut & Sew service here at Contrado, and are able to hem your fabric prints for a small additional charge. We create a small one- or two-fold hem that typically uses 5 to 20mm of material, depending on the thickness of the fabric. So, for example, if you want a finished piece of fabric that measures 100 x 100cm, you will need to order a size of 101.5cm x 101.5cm to allow for the hem (on top of that please also allow for shrinkage of min 2%). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. You can choose to have your prints hemmed with either Black or White thread. On our silk and other light woven fabrics, one hemmed edge will be straight (vertically down the roll) and the other will be slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:
- Light Fabrics (20-100gsm): For silks and other light fabrics, we use 6-8mm in the hem (2 fold), so overall width/height will be minus 12-16mm
- Medium Fabrics (101-200gsm): For medium-weight fabrics that fray, we use 15-20mm in the hem (2 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 35-40mm
- Stiff/Heavy/No-fray fabrics: we use 15-20mm in the hem (1 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 35-40mm
All of these measurements are approximate and can vary. Including with shrinkage it can mean a fairly significant difference to ordered dimensions, so please plan your print accordingly. Depending on how open the weave is, our fabric can shrink anywhere from 2% to 8% with the average being 2.5%.
