Hi,
Just upgraded my account to Pro and am setting my pricing. I am wondering what exactly is the difference between the wrapped and stretched canvas prints-the only difference I could really tell on the Bay Photo site is one is sprayed with a protective coating. What am I missing? Also I am guessing the 'board' ones are just the canvas wrapped around a flat board and are not ready to hang?

    Hi Stephanie,

    The wrapped canvas is wrapped around a stretcher frame so that 1 3/4" of the photo's edges are visible on the sides of the frame. The stretched canvas print is stretched to the edge of a 3/4" thick wooden frame, and stapled around the edges, leaving the full image on the front. Both types of prints are sprayed with a protective spray.

    Canvas Board prints are mounted onto sturdy gator foamboard. Please see this link regarding canvas prints from Bay Photo.

    We also offer a thin wrap from bay which is more like the canvas wrapped around a flat board. Please see this link as well:

    If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email us over at the Smugmug help desk.

    Have a great day!

    An even shorter answer than the one above:

    Use wrapped if you want to hang the canvas without a frame.

    Use stretched if you are going to put the canvas in a (deep) frame.
