Though rubber-banding a photograph to a roly-poly super ball increases its utility, its picture quality plummets after playing just a few rounds of fetch. Put a photo in a durable place with today's Groupon: for $45, you get a gift voucher valid for one 16"x20"x1.5" gallery-wrapped canvas from Canvas on Demand (a $126.95 value). Shipping and handling are included with the cost of this Groupon, and the gift voucher will be shipped 7–10 business days after purchase.
A wrapped canvas is a professional photorealistic reproduction printed on textured artist canvas and gallery wrapped around a sturdy 1.5-inch edge. After receiving an uploaded image, Canvas on Demand's touch-up experts will make complimentary fixes, such as improving sharpness, balancing and enhancing the color, fine-tuning contrast, and removing suspiciously red eyes, before reproducing the image on a 16"x20" canvas. Customers can also opt to mail in traditional prints; Canvas on Demand's image magicians will make a high-resolution scan and return originals by mail—unless they're baby photos, which are returned via stork.
With a wraparound canvas, the new artwork will have a colorful edge, and it won't need a frame. In one to three weeks after the giftee's initial submission, they'll have the gallery-canvas print in hand, ready to hang with pride above any lonely fireplace in need of a nonimaginary friend.
Customers living in California, North Carolina, Nevada, Kentucky, and Washington will pay an additional fee for sales tax.
