CANVAS \ AQUEOUS
Product Description
Lyve Matte Canvas
Lyve Canvas is a 19 mil bright white, consistent
polycotton blend matte canvas using an acid-free neutral
pH coating. Unlike 99.9% of available inkjet canvas
products on the market today, this canvas utilizes
our “Chromata White” optical brightener additive-free
and uorescent whitening agent-free breakthrough
technology. “Chromata White” gives the end-user the
most stable platform on which to print photographs
and ne art works without the metamerism issues or
color shift issues inherent on other canvases. Optical
brighteners compromise the attainment of true color,
they complicate proling accuracy, and they inevitably
deteriorate and yellow over time.
