Product Description
A coated cotton-based artist canvas intended for fine art reproduction and prints that benefit from a fabric textured
surface. This canvas will withstand the process of stretching onto a wooden frame. It is a functional fabric that can
also be “finished” for an array of graphics applications, such as indoor banners with sewn edges. The fabric structure
enhances the decorative effect and the non-reflective, textured surface gives a feel of quality as well as wide-angle
visibility without glare. Canvas is often a material worth considering as an alternative to vinyl. The natural
components in canvas give an inevitable variation in the surface characteristics.
With a water-resistant, instant dry coating, this canvas is suitable for practically all inks, and is particularly suited to
pigment inks.
Applications
Artists reproductions and banners. This canvas can be sewn and used as a banner. Excellent for indoor banner
applications including retail point-of-purchase, showrooms, suspended ceiling displays, hotel promotions, school
events, sport arenas, museums, theatres and art galleries.

Critical Operating Instructions
• For best results store and use within temperature of 50-86°F (10-30°C) and 30-65% relative humidity.
Store the product in its original bag and box.
• The coating sits over a porous surface, not smooth like paper. Some of the coating layer sits on the peaks
of the weave, therefore may rub off if oversaturated with ink especially in heavy coverage areas
(such as 4-color blacks).
• Properly printed, this material can withstand normal handling immediately after printing.
• Over-lamination is not required, however liquid laminates can be used to enhance the image density.
Do not touch with grease, oil, silicones, or dirt.
• Colors may appear to be “flat” when printed. Print test files before beginning any job. If necessary, enhance
color in the digital file (darkening Photoshop colors, or choosing alternate PMS process colors) prior to printing
on this material.
• Roll up finished images. DO NOT FOLD as the surface coating may break and spoil the image.
