The difference is the surface, the weight and what you have to buy to hang it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canvas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A canvas print is stretched over a wooden frame, so it arrives ready to hang with no frame to buy. The surface is slightly textured, which softens a photo and suits landscapes, portraits and anything painted. It is heavier and costs more than a poster of the same size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A poster is paper: light, flat and much cheaper, with sharper detail for graphics, text and illustrations. It needs a frame, a hanger or a clip rail to look finished, which is why many people order it framed or with a wood hanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A quick way to decide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For a family photo or a landscape in a living room: canvas.<\/li>\n\n<li>For an illustration, a map or a quote: poster, framed.<\/li>\n\n<li>For a gallery wall of six or more: posters in matching frames.<\/li>\n\n<li>For a rented flat where you cannot drill: a poster with a wood hanger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/product-category\/canvas-prints\/\">Browse canvas prints<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two ways to put a picture on a wall, and how to pick by room, budget and style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-print-guides"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.cmsmart.net\/stores\/cmsmart-poster-canvas-store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
