about us | canvasRus

Welcome to canvasRus, the UK’s leading digital printer of canvas prints. We specialise in turning your own photos or original artwork into beautiful canvas prints.

Our parent company, Portobello Art, was established in 1987, so we've been in the art, print and framing trade for over 20 years!

We started digital printing about 5/6 years ago and probably began the trend of canvas pictures by supplying the likes of Asda & Costco.

About four years ago many consumers started contacting Portobello Art, our trade company, wanting a single canvas picture or to put their photo onto canvas.

Hence canvasRus! The website was launched in March 2004 and was probably one of the first digital printing companies to offer this service to the retail public.

Since our launch four years ago, the company has nearly trebled in size and for this reason we will shortly be moving to new industrial premises mainly to increase our storage and packing areas.

There are, however, a lot of other companies now ‘jumping on the bandwagon’ claiming to be the biggest and the best.
So who do you choose?
Read a few facts below and make your own decision!

We print 200-300 pictures a day (not a week!)
We fulfil over 200 individual orders a week
30% of orders are from returning customers
Over 50% of orders come from trade customers including interior designers and contract furnishers (see trade customers)
Feedback? We get several complimentary emails a day!
Our return rate is under 1% (yes, we do make the odd mistake!)
We replace or credit about 4/5 pictures a week in accordance with our satisfaction guarantee policy
All our wide format printers and materials are from Hewlett Packard – UK’s largest printer supplier

We only use high quality artist’s canvas which has been stabilised to further enhance the quality and durability of the printed image
We only use original light fast UV inks which have a 25 year life expectancy.
All our canvases are stretched by hand on 50mm deep kiln dried solid wood stretchers

We therefore believe that we can offer the very best quality canvas pictures at affordable prices.
So this is why we are confident in claiming to be UK’s leading digital printer of canvas photo prints.
