Being in the Sublimation business you likely already have most of the equipment required to start making stretched canvas prints

If you have the below then this kit will allow you to jump straight in and get stretching.

What can I create with this kit?

Using the stretcher bars provided in this kit you will be able to make two different sizes to a max total of 20 canvasess.

 As you will then already have all the required tools and accessories to create canvasses all you will need to continue producing is more canvas sheets and stretcher bars giving you a low production cost per canvas of approx. £2.50

8” x 8” square canvasses

8” x 12” rectangle canvasses

Not only that but by chopping up a larger image into smaller sections you can create large multi panel canvas artworks.

What else can will i be able to do?

When it comes to stretching canvas you generally need to leave a little bit of extra material beyond your printed area which is used to stretch and secure the canvas material to the back of the frame, you can take advantage of this by using a 17" wide roll of canvas in combination with your A3 sublimation prints

Below is a list of other potential sizes you could create

6"x6", 6"x8", 6"x10", 8"x8", 8"x10"­ , 8"x14",10"x12",10"x14"
