> stretched museum quality canvas prints

What does that mean? It seems like a contradiction in terms. Stretched-canvas prints were invented for the interior design market. While I won't go so far as to say that a museum has never hung a canvas print, I've never seen it and I'd be surprised to see it done except as a self-conscious thumbing-of-the-nose at the establishment.

It's just a ubiquitous marketing term. What I mean is it's the standard fine art quality marketed by others. Acid free, varnished, thick canvas, "archival" inks.
