You can elevate your fine art and photography reproductions with the Crystalline Satin Bright White Poly-Cotton Inkjet Canvas. This 21 mil, 440gsm canvas is designed for aqueous inkjet printing and comes in both gloss and satin finishes, offering versatility for your creative projects.
Engineered to work seamlessly with photo black ink, this high-performance inkjet canvas delivers an industry-leading dmax and color gamut, outperforming other glossy or matte inkjet canvases available today. The Crystalline canvas, launched in 2011, continues our tradition of innovation, following the success of Chromata White in 2005 and Lyve in 2009.
One of the standout features of this canvas is its OBA-free, yet still bright white surface. Thanks to our proprietary "Chromata White" technology, the Crystalline canvas offers a bright white surface without the yellowish tint often associated with OBA-free products. This technology ensures the longevity of your prints while maintaining a popular and desired aesthetic.
The Crystalline canvas is the only OBA-free bright white glossy canvas ever developed, providing a stable platform for printing photographs and fine art giclees. It eliminates the metamerism issues or color shift problems inherent in other canvases. Moreover, Optical Brighteners, which can compromise true color and complicate profiling accuracy, are not used in this canvas, ensuring your prints remain vibrant and true to color over time.
One of the significant advantages of the Crystalline canvas is that it requires no varnish, making it an ideal choice for printmakers who are new to canvas printing or those who prefer to avoid the labor-intensive step of varnishing their canvas prints.
Additionally, the Crystalline canvas is designed to withstand stretching without cracking or tearing, with or without a coat of varnish. This ensures the durability and longevity of your prints, even when stretched over frames.
In summary, the Crystalline Satin Bright White Poly-Cotton Inkjet Canvas offers superior print quality, durability, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for professional artists, photographers, and printmakers.
