We have been having trouble with other canvas, the ink was actually coming off when we varnished the print. This Lyve Canvas took care of that problem.

I love so many things about this canvas. I just finished printing a few pieces and hung them alongside the same prints on other canvases I had in my studio. No yellow tinge to the Lyve canvas. The white is clear and clean, but not plastic or cheesy looking. One of my prints has much white space, so this was a big deal. Another is full saturated color, and the whites in that are in harmony with the print, a beautiful even tone across the canvas. I also love the texture of this canvas. It retains a very classy looking canvas texture. Finally, very resilient. I've used other canvases that kink or chip easily. This is a soft canvas and the ink stays in place. I've been disappointed by the look and feel of all digital canvas prints I've seen in the past, mostly mine and sometimes others', but this has a beautiful surface. Completely sold.

Best ink jet canvas I have ever used. Colors are vivid and texture is not too overwhelming.

I've used lots of canvas over the years, actually since the beginning of fineart inkjet printing, and I've seen all sorts of problem, but at this point in the craft I would expect that coating coming off or easily scratched would be a thing of the past. I'm returning the last two rolls for credit because the image comes right off. This is a nice canvas otherwise, but I'd suggest testing each roll when you get it as this seems to be a continuing problem with BC canvas in general. I had the same thing happen with Chromata White too.

If you're looking for an archival quality canvas to print on, this is it. I've been using Breathing Color Lyve canvas exclusively in my printing business for over 3 years now. It isn't the cheapest canvas around, but I believe you get what you pay for. Especially if you're printing for high end customers that resell their work and you want to have the confidence that it will last.

Bring your artistic vision to life with the unparalleled quality of the Lyve Matte Canvas, a 36" x 40' roll of premium poly-cotton inkjet canvas that redefines excellence in the printmaking industry. Since its launch in May 2009, the Lyve Canvas has been celebrated for its robust 19 MIL, 450GSM construction, ensuring a durable and heavyweight feel that artists and photographers crave for their work.
Crafted with an archival-certified, OBA-free composition, this matte canvas guarantees longevity, promising that your prints will remain vibrant and true-to-color for over a century. The absence of Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs) not only stabilizes the color integrity of your prints but also eliminates the risk of yellowing over time, maintaining the bright white surface that is so sought after in the industry.
The Lyve Canvas's "Chromata White" technology, a pioneering innovation by Breathing Color, offers a bright white canvas without the use of OBAs, ensuring that your prints exhibit no metamerism issues or color shifts, which are common in other canvases. This technology provides a stable platform for both photographs and fine art gicl©es, delivering prints that are consistent in appearance under various lighting conditions.
Experience a significant improvement in color gamut and dmax with the Lyve Canvas, boasting a 15% measurable enhancement compared to previous offerings. This translates to a wider range of vivid colors and deeper, richer blacks, allowing every subtle detail and nuance of your images to be captured with incredible resolution.
The synergy between the Lyve Canvas and our proprietary varnishes, such as Timeless Gloss, Satin, or Matte, is unmatched. This combination ensures that your canvas will not crack or tear when stretched, providing a flawless finish that complements the texture and weight of the canvas.
Whether you are producing fine art reproductions or photographic prints for high-end clients, the Lyve Matte Canvas is the consummate choice for those who demand the best in color fidelity, archival quality, and ease of use. Its versatility and professional-grade quality make it a favorite among industry professionals who trust the Breathing Color brand for consistently delivering exceptional results.
