Canvas printing for Rehovot residents

From Rehovot to the studio: the actual drive

The route is Route 412 north, through Nes Ziona and on into Rishon LeZion. From north Rehovot and the Weizmann Institute area it's about 15 minutes; from the center and the southern neighborhoods (Kiryat Moshe, Sha'arayim and around) it's closer to 20.

Route 412 is an urban road with traffic lights, not a highway, so the time of day counts. Between 16:00 and 18:00 it slows down; late morning and midday it's an easy drive. If you prefer a faster road, you can get onto Route 431 and come into Rishon LeZion that way, though in practice the difference is small.

The address is 3 Naftali Palatin St., Booth 147, in the industrial zone, with free street parking. Open Sunday to Thursday, 08:15–17:00.

Posters, diplomas, and when canvas is the wrong choice

Rehovot is home to the Weizmann Institute and the Faculty of Agriculture, and so we see plenty of printing from the academic world: conference posters, bachelor's and doctoral diplomas, research prints and lab photographs. And it's worth saying plainly: for most of these, canvas is actually not the right choice.

Canvas is a textured fabric. That's wonderful for a landscape, a family photo or a reproduction of a painting, because the texture adds depth. But on a scientific poster with small type, graphs and captions, the same texture hurts sharpness: the letters sit on the weave of the fabric and lose their edges. A diploma on canvas looks out of place for a different reason: it's a document, and the visual expectation is paper behind glass.

For both of these the answer is printing on paper and then framing: a molding, glass, and a mat that gives the diploma some breathing room. We do both under one roof, so you can bring the file and decide at the studio. Details on framing for Rehovot residents are on our Rehovot picture framing page.

So when is canvas right? When it's a picture rather than a document, when you want a large size without the weight of glass, and when it's going on a wall at home rather than in an institution's hallway.

How it works from Rehovot

Bring the file, and if you're torn between canvas and a framed print, we look at it together and decide on the spot. For canvas: choose the size, approve the crop on screen, and we print and stretch it. Most jobs, either way, are ready within two business days.

What it costs

Canvas printing follows a fixed price list: ₪120 for 30x45 cm, ₪220 for 50x70 cm and ₪450 for 100x100 cm; the full list is on our canvas printing page. Framing is priced by size, molding and glass, and you get the price at the studio with the piece in front of us.
