Printed versus Painted

Hedgehog Needlepoint tackles the question of printed versus painted canvases.

Hedgehog's airport travel tags are all printed but I think some of their other canvases are painted.  I'm not sure about that, though.

Many canvases are printed these days.  Here's a JudyAnn design. Her work is printed and then touched up with a brush.

Here is the famous "Elizabeth's Closet" from Moore Stitching.  It's also printed.  (I've stitched several canvases from Moore Stitching and found them very well done.)

There are many more examples.  Just like painted canvases, some printed canvases are very well done and some aren't.  Take a careful look before you buy.  Your favorite shop can guide you to hand painted canvases if not knowing exactly what color goes where is a problem for you.  But many printed canvases are well worth adding to your stash these days.
