Welcome to our Family!

Heirloom-focused craftsmanship
From frustration to craftsmanship
Modern Canvas Company was founded the moment Matt and Vanessa saw premium prices attached to prints mounted to MDF boards and labeled as heirloom-quality canvas.
Too often, what arrived was reinforced with plastic tension plugs, rushed through production, and built to look acceptable online but feel thin and temporary once it hit the wall.
The truth revealed itself immediately. Thin. Rushed. Disposable.
These weren't just decorations. They were people's most important memories.
And they deserved to be treated like it.
The Heirloom Print Standard™
This is our promise to never cut corners, no matter how common those shortcuts are in the industry.
100% Cotton Canvas
Natural texture, richer depth, and a premium feel that synthetic blends simply can't replicate.
Archival Pigment Inks
Carefully calibrated for accurate color, smooth gradients, and long-term stability.
Kiln-Dried Pine Frames
Strong, stable stretcher bars designed to resist warping over time.
Hand-Stretched Craftsmanship
Every canvas is stretched by hand for tight corners and a clean, gallery-ready finish.
Protective Archival Varnish
Adds durability and protection while preserving the character of the print.
Dialed-In Print Settings
We fine-tune our printer settings for canvas specifically, not generic presets, because ink on cotton deserves precision.
What we don't do
Some things are easy. We choose not to do them.
- We don't take shortcuts.
- We don't use thin or flimsy canvas.
- We don't rush printing or stretching.
- We don't rely on default ink settings.
- We don't ship anything we wouldn't hang ourselves.
