Canvas Fabric 280 micron printing is RM86.10 per m², approximately RM8.00 per square foot, before finishing options and delivery. Choose it when you want a woven texture for art or décor; Synthetic Paper 260gsm is a cheaper choice when a smooth matte surface is enough. Before ordering, decide how the print will be framed or displayed so the artwork fits the finished piece.
How much does canvas printing cost in Malaysia?
Tandaku lists canvas fabric as a material under Poster. Its published rate is for printing on that material, so compare it with other print materials before comparing it with a complete framed wall display.
| Print material | Published rate per m² | Approximate rate per square foot | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canvas Fabric 280 micron | RM86.10 | RM8.00 | Woven canvas texture |
| Synthetic Paper 260gsm | RM22.60 | RM2.10 | Smooth matte |
These are material printing rates before finishing options and delivery. They are not fixed prices for every canvas size, and they do not establish the cost of a framed or stretched piece.
Use the poster ordering page to select the canvas material and enter your dimensions. Check the selected material, quantity and options before comparing the displayed price with another offer. A comparison is useful only when the size and what comes with the order match.
What is a canvas print made of?
A canvas print puts your image onto a printable canvas material with a woven texture. Tandaku's listed option is Canvas Fabric 280 micron, described as a material for art and décor. The texture is part of the surface you are choosing, rather than an effect added to your photograph.
Choose it because you want that textured appearance. Do not assume that selecting canvas will improve a blurred photograph or restore detail missing from the original file. The image and the material are separate choices, and both affect the result.
Canvas also should not be confused with every other printed cloth. Satin fabric, flag fabric and mesh fabric have different surfaces and uses. If your aim is a textured wall picture, identify the canvas material by name when ordering rather than asking only for fabric printing.
Does a canvas printing price include a frame?
Check the contents of the offer before you pay. Printing the image, stretching the material over a support, adding an outer frame and supplying hanging hardware are different parts of a finished display. A material rate alone does not tell you which of those parts comes with it.
Tandaku's canvas entry gives the printable material and its printing rate. It does not establish a stretching or framing package. Arrange your display method separately unless the options you select explicitly include it.
If you plan to use a framer, settle the finished dimensions and edge treatment with them before preparing the print file. Ask whether the image should stay entirely on the front or continue around an edge, and what extra material their method needs. Do not guess that allowance from a picture of another canvas.
For a flat print going into an existing frame, the poster framing guide explains the measurements to check. Confirm canvas compatibility with the particular frame before ordering.
What size should you order for your canvas?
Start with the intended display position and the framing plan. Measure the available wall space, then decide how much of it you want the picture to occupy. A print that fits the wall can still be the wrong size for a frame you already own.
Keep the print dimensions and the visible picture area clear in your notes. If a frame overlaps the edges, important details should sit comfortably inside the visible area. If a framer needs material around the image, confirm that requirement before setting the overall file size.
Match the shape of your photograph to the shape of the intended print. A wide photograph placed into a tall layout needs cropping, borders or a different arrangement. Preview that decision before ordering so a face, building or other important subject does not end up cut off.
Marking the proposed outline on the wall with removable paper can help you judge the proportions. Look at it from where you normally sit or stand, rather than choosing only from how the dimensions look on a screen.
When is a cheaper poster material enough?
Synthetic Paper 260gsm is worth considering when you want a smooth matte picture and do not need the woven canvas texture. Its published rate is lower than the canvas rate, so you can reduce the printing cost without changing the artwork or making the picture smaller.
For a notice, illustrated chart or design built around small lettering, a smooth surface may also suit the appearance you want. For art and décor where the woven surface is part of the appeal, canvas gives you a different material finish.
Compare materials for the actual display rather than choosing the more expensive option automatically. If you already have a suitable frame and simply need a flat picture inside it, check whether a smooth poster meets the brief. If the textured surface is the reason you chose canvas, keep that requirement clear when comparing prices.
How should you prepare a photo for canvas printing?
Use the original image file where possible. A screenshot or a copy saved from a messaging preview may have less detail than the original. Enlarging that copy does not bring the missing detail back.
Check the crop at the intended print shape. Keep important subjects away from edges that may be covered, folded or used by your chosen framing method. Complete those decisions before sending the file so the printed image and the framing plan agree.
Inspect the photograph for blur, unwanted objects and edits that are easy to miss on a small screen. A textured material should be a deliberate surface choice, rather than a way to hide a file problem. The large-format artwork guide covers file preparation checks.
Also allow for the difference between a glowing screen and a physical printed surface. Use the print colour variance guide to understand why the same image can look different on screen and on a material. Before ordering, check the material, dimensions, crop and display method together.
