FAQ

💡Most customers choose small to medium for bathrooms and smaller spaces, medium to large for bedrooms, and large to extra-large for living rooms.
What print options do you offer?
We offer stretched canvas prints, floating-framed canvas prints, framed paper prints, rolled canvas prints, and paper prints, so you can choose the finish that best suits your room and budget. You can check this link to see more information about all the options.
Are your canvas prints made in Australia?
Yes — all Australian orders are professionally printed and finished in Australia using premium materials, with careful quality checks before dispatch. For orders outside of Australia, we print in either Europe or the U.S depending on where the order is going.
What quality are the prints?
We use premium large-format printers with archival inks designed for strong colour depth, sharp detail, and long-lasting durability. You can check this page for more information about the equality. We use a premium-grade, archival 100% cotton, 390 gsm textured canvas for all canvas prints.
Will the colours look exactly like the screen?
Colours are printed as accurately as possible, but slight variations can occur because screens display colour differently from printed material. We can't control your screen settings, but we work to ensure the print matches the original exactly.
How long does delivery take?
Most orders are produced quickly and dispatched within 2-5 business days, paper prints and rolled canvas will be dispatched the fastest for obvious reasons, followed by stretched canvas prints and then floating frames and framed prints as they take slightly longer to manufacture.

Delivery times depending on your location in Australia. Our normal turnaround for delivery (from placing the order to receiving the artwork) - is within 8 days. priority service speeds this up. We print in Noosa and Perth, giving us coverage on both the east and west coasts. Check this page for more accurate time frames for all locations.
What if I need help choosing the right size?
If unsure, choose the size that best suits your wall space, or contact us and we can help suggest what usually works best for your room.
What printer and inks do you use?
We print using Canon imagePROGRAF PRO large-format printers, chosen specifically for their exceptional colour accuracy, sharp detail, and consistency across both fine art and photographic work. These professional printers are paired with archival Canon LUCIA 12-colour pigment inks, a premium ink system designed to produce rich tonal depth, smooth gradients, and highly accurate colour reproduction, particularly in subtle shades and complex artwork. The 12-colour ink set allows for a much wider colour range than standard printing systems, helping us achieve deeper blacks, cleaner neutrals, and more natural transitions in everything from bold contemporary designs to delicate fine art prints. Just as importantly, these pigment-based inks are archival quality, meaning they are designed for long-term durability and excellent resistance to fading when properly displayed. We use one of the highest-quality professional printing systems available because it lets us produce artwork that looks impressive when you first receive it and keeps its depth, clarity, and colour integrity over time.
Is the artwork ready to hang?
Yes — stretched canvas, floating framed canvas,and framed prints arrive ready to hang straight on the wall. Please note that overseas orders, particularly to the US, may require fittings to be attached. They are included.
What happens if my print arrives damaged?
If anything arrives damaged, simply contact us with photos, and we will arrange a replacement promptly.
Do you offer custom sizes for your prints?
Yes, absolutely. We will be more than happy to create custom sizes for any of the artworks you see on the website. Feel free to contact us with the exact size you need, and we will provide a quote.
Am I able to come to your office to collect the artwork directly to save time and shipping
Absolutely, you are more than welcome to come to either of our facilities in Noosa, QLD, or Booragoo, Perth, WA. Please do, however, give us a call before coming so we can make sure someone is out front. We spend a lot of time out back around noisy machinery, so the front desk is not always manned.
Will I receive a proof for personalised art, and can I make changes
es — for all personalised artwork, we always send a digital proof before anything goes to print so you can see exactly how your design will look first. This gives you the chance to check wording, layout, colours, spelling, dates, locations or any other personal details before production begins. Proofs are usually sent within 48 hours of ordering, and very often much sooner, depending on the design and the time the order is placed. We know personalised artwork often carries important meaning, so we want customers to feel completely confident before the final print is produced. You are also very welcome to request changes once you receive the proof. In fact, we encourage it. If there is anything you would like adjusted, whether a small wording change or a more noticeable layout tweak, we encourage it. We continue refining the design until you are 100% happy with the result. Nothing is printed until you have approved the proof, which means you can order knowing there is still a chance to fine-tune the artwork before it is made.
Why buy from Canvas Prints Australia?

We are an Australian-based business that uses premium-grade materials, professional large-format printing, and carefully selected finishes so that every piece feels like something made to last rather than mass-produced.

More Information about the Artwork / Artist

The Big Wednesday movie poster is an iconic representation of the 1978 film directed by John Milius. Set in California, the film captures the surf culture of the 1960s and 1970s, portraying the lives of three friends, Matt, Jack, and Leroy, as they navigate the changing tides of life, love, and surfing. The film is widely regarded as one of the most authentic portrayals of the Californian surf scene, combining elements of coming-of-age drama with the adrenaline and freedom of surfing. The movie’s poster reflects the spirit of the film, embodying both the laid-back, sun-soaked lifestyle and the dramatic emotional undercurrents that underpin the characters’ experiences.

The artwork on the Big Wednesday movie poster typically features bold colours and stylised illustrations that reflect the visual aesthetics of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Surfboards, crashing waves, and the figures of surfers are often depicted in dynamic poses, capturing the intensity and freedom of the surf culture. The poster’s design evokes the vibrant and rebellious spirit of the era, while also nodding to the surf industry’s unique visual language. The bold, playful typography commonly used on the poster is also a clear nod to the surf culture of the time, with its casual yet striking style ensuring that the poster grabs attention.

Collectors of film memorabilia often seek original Big Wednesday movie posters due to the film’s enduring cult status. As a nostalgic look at a period of cultural and social change, the film resonates with audiences long after its release. The artwork, in its various forms, has become emblematic of the surf genre, evoking fond memories of the carefree, adventurous spirit of the time. For collectors, owning an original poster is not just about the film itself, but also about connecting to the culture and history that it represents. The poster’s design, with its striking imagery and nostalgic themes, makes it a valuable item for anyone interested in surf culture or classic cinema.

As with many vintage movie posters, the Big Wednesday poster’s value can vary depending on factors such as condition, rarity, and provenance. Original prints from the film’s release in the late 1970s are considered highly desirable, especially those that are well-preserved and feature vibrant colours. Some versions of the poster may include specific details or additional text, such as film festival screenings or limited release tags, which can add to their rarity and desirability. For those passionate about surfing, vintage movie posters like Big Wednesday serve as not only a reminder of a specific film but also as a tangible connection to the surf culture that shaped a generation.
