Because the Lyve Matte Canvas is OBA-free, it ensures consistent print appearance under diverse lighting conditions, effectively reducing metamerism.

I’ve been using Breathing Color Lyve canvas since purchasing my own fine art printer several years ago. It is a high quality canvas that is easy to stretch. Breathing Color’s ICC profile for the canvas has delivered consistent, accurate output. I’ve been completely satisfied with Breathing Color Lyve as have been my many customers.

Trying to save on low cost canvas is a mistake, as low cost alternatives often have problems with the coating separating from the canvas around bend lines and corners. I have learned to go with the best and let ther increased profit from doing my printing in-house make up for the cost. And, I know I am giving my customers certified archival quality.

I run this through my Canon IPF6100 printer. The prints are beautiful. I mount the prints on thick Gatorfoam core board using Miracle Muck for the adhesive. Much more robust than stretching the canvas over a frame.

This is excellent canvas especially when matched with Breathing Color "Timeless" varnish. Deep, rich darks and saturated colors without loss of detail. My only complaint is that it is not always in stock.
