There are 3 different types of printers used in canvas printing. The large volume cheap print houses typically use printers designed for signage. We use printers specifically designed for photographic applications.
Cheaper printers use only 4-8 colours of ink. Our printer has 11 inks, which means you get way better and more accurate colour.
We also hand spray each canvas with a specially formulated UV inhibitor, that adds a beautiful, vibrant lustre. Others do not laminate their canvas to save costs, which also causes fading despite their marketing claims.
Cheaper canvas is also so white because it is bleached with harsh chemicals, in places such as China, or contain additives which fade, and cause colour shifting. Our canvas is also much thicker, and more robust. The imaging quality is also superior.
We also look at each and every file individually, and provide feedback on your files, as well as fix any errors meticulously. For example, we will remove dust spots that end up being loony size when enlarged. MOST files come in with errors like this that we fix. Most places don't, and are automated, ours is not, and because of this we catch things that other places simply can't.
There are many other factors as well, but the bottom line is stay away from latex inks or anything cheap if you want it to last.

We use what is referred to as archival pigment based printing. The printers we use are specifically designed and manufactured to meet the fine art photographic imaging and art reproduction market. Our printer uses 11 colours of ink, using the Epson HDX inkset. These inks last over 200 years. Another term used for this printing type is giclée printing. Our printer is capable of printing to 44" on the short side, by any length.
Canvas sizes over 40x60" use an Epson S80600 for commercial applications.
