Canvas stretching the name itself would indicate stretching it by covering the frame without putting the picture in a frame separately and help in avoiding the hassle or rather save time and money of buying a new frame. A stretched picture can be directly hung on to the wall without a frame. Many stretched pictures have fittings which help in hanging the picture directly on to the wall. A canvas stretcher does all the hard work required for the process. It normally includes a frame on which the canvas is stretched. The frame is hidden underneath the canvas. The existence of the frame would not be in question or rather the necessity of having a frame for the picture would be completely wiped out. A stretched canvas definitely is a complete product.
Many wide format printers can definitely print Photo on Canvas thus increasing the profit margins in comparison to the photo film or art papers. Canvas stretched pictures do blend with the background i.e. it would not definitely distinguish itself as different from the wall it is hung on. It rather blends with the background giving it a new dimension to the picture.
Canvas stretching is very much useful especially in oil paintings and other pictures that would definitely be costlier. The biggest advantage in canvas stretching in case it is not stretched out properly or if wrinkles develop, one can just simply moisten the back of it and remove the wrinkles. A cardboard sheet can be placed in the back of the canvas for protection of the canvas.
Hence, there is hardly any doubt that the artist's consider canvas stretching a viable option that is affordable and flexible as per their needs.
