Canvas prints are printed on textured cotton or polyester canvas material and stretched over a wooden frame, creating a three-dimensional art piece with no need for glass or additional framing while fine art prints are produced on premium archival paper using high-quality pigment inks that capture fine details and rich color depth.

The main differences include texture (canvas has a woven, textured feel while fine art paper is smooth with subtle texture), durability (canvas is more resistant to damage while paper prints need protection), presentation (canvas has a painterly look while paper prints have a classic gallery appearance), and display requirements (canvas is ready to hang while fine art prints typically need framing).
