artists’s matt cotton canvas
suitable for mellow or more traditional prints, especially photographic portraits, with a rich, soft finish.

This is a durable, high quality artist’s canvas. It leaves a wonderfully rich, sophisticated finish with the canvas texture showing through. The inks used are UV resistant to counter the effects of fading for up to 25 years. Hand stretched over a wooden frame and boxed. Supplied with plastic corner protectors. A layer of protective foam is then placed between the canvas and its packaging.

artists’s satin cotton canvas
suitable for more vibrantly coloured prints, especially bold, abstract subjects or vivid photographic images.

This is the same material as above but has a satin sheen finish which gives the same final look and feel as a varnished painting. The inks used are UV resistant to counter the effects of fading for up to 25 years. Hand stretched over a wooden frame and boxed. Supplied with plastic corner protectors. A layer of protective foam is then placed between the canvas and its packaging.

frames

Our canvases are hand stretched over 40mm wooden frames. The canvas is wrapped to the reverse, corners folded neatly at 90 degrees to their side & stapled, this is then covered with framers tape to give a neat professional finish. A hanging mechanism is included for your use - all you need to do is unpack & hang on your wall!

printing

We use an Epson 10600UC water-based inkjet 720/1440dpi 6 pass uni and bidirectional printer (it lays down 6 colours in one pass and prints on both the outward and return movement), using Ultrachrome UV resistant inks with improved water resistance and reduced feathering - the inks sit on top of the paper or canvas without sinking into it. For all you tecchies!
