The Peak is a fine art print mounted on MDF. Both are nice, you have a shaper image on the fine art print as there in no texture on the cloth. I guess it all depends on the size of the image and distance you are viewing it from.

There are two ways to make canvas prints.
One is to print with an inkjet printer direct onto canvas - which is most common - these are sometimes varnished, sometimes laminated (unless its an epson) and sometimes uncoated (so a wet cloth will damage image).
The second way is to print onto silver based photographic paper, laminate it, then split it (a bit like a beer mat) and laminate onto canvas.
The first method you can set up for a few thousand pounds - the second option, if printing from digital, would set you back £50,000 plus - so it tends to only be available from big labs.
