Ok Ladies, here are my options:

Original print on archival Artist Paper. approx. 19"x27": $200
Original print on archival Artist Paper. approx. 14"X20": $100
Original Print on archival Artist Canvas. approx. 19"x27": $300
Original print on archival Artist Canvas. approx. 14"x20": $180

What do you recommend?  I have no idea if canvas is better then paper.  I plan on framing it so I don't think that the paper will start to turn color.  Also, is 19x27 too big?

TIA!

    The canvas will give a different look. You can have your ketubah framed with glass that has an anti-uv coating to help it from turning colour. Also you shouldn't face it directly toward sunlight if possible.

    Wow, great prices.  If you don't want something that big, then I'd stick with the 14x20 (mine will be 13x18) and with the minimal difference in cost, I'd probably go with the canvas.  But really, either is fine; as long as you take good care, then it doesn't matter if you go paper or canvas - as goldgold stated, canvas will look different.

    Canvas will make it look more like a painting than anything else.  I'd think it might be hard for witnesses to sign on it, though.

    Our ketubah is 19x27 (or a bit bigger, perhaps).  It's gorgeous, and the size really works for the design, but it is going to be big (after framing you may be somewhere around 2'x3').
