New Canvases

If you know me, then you know that I am all about quality. So today I am pleased to announce that we will be dropping our old 10×16 Canvases from Hahnemuhle and will be using professional archival materials. First and foremost all canvases will be printed using genuine Epson UltraChrome Archival Pigmented Inks. We print at 1440 dpi on super-heavy-duty 20.5mil, ultra DMAX, OBA-Free, high water resistant, bright white consistent poly-cotton blend archival canvas certified by the Fine Art Trade Guild. We then seal your canvas with a proprietary matte finish archival top-coat that provides the industry best protection against UV damage, fungal damage, scuffs, fading, cracking, and tearing.

Wait! I never seen or heard of you selling canvases?
We just started selling canvases a few months ago and they are currently limited to family, friends and upon special request. We currently offer two finished sizes: 6×8 using the materials by Hahnemuhle and 10×16 which will be using the materials outlined in this post. All future 6×8 Hahnemuhle canvases will be printed on Archival Monet, OBA-Free Canvas.

How long will my canvas last?
I have performed a tremendous amount of research looking for the best available materials that are certified to archival standards. On top of this we adhere to the rigorous production standards for genuine Giclée canvas prints. Along with using the highest quality inkjet canvas and archival inks, we seal every canvas with a protective top-coat to ensure color preservation and protection against humidity and other environmental hazards. Because of our high standards and product quality, our canvases should last for at least 150 years.

How should I care for my canvas?
Our canvases are extremely durable and do not require special care. While we recommend displaying our canvas prints in a dry, temperature controlled location, they are specifically designed to withstand many of the environmental factors that may damage other artwork, such as exposure to sunlight or humidity. If necessary, gently clean with a feather duster or a damp or dry soft cloth.

Do you offer unstretched canvases?
Yes, we offer unstretched canvases and the reason why we do this is that some customers have the tools and expertise to stretched their own canvases. In addition, some customers wish to mat and frame unstretched canvases under glass or hang them between rails. Others also like to embellish them with embroidery, paint, or other adornments. Two options are available: 1.) Mirror Edges, or Full Image 2.) Black Edges or White Edges

Are you going to raise your already set price?
Absolutely not. We purchased the materials in bulk in-order to maintain our competitive pricing.
