Are you an artist or photographer seeking a high-quality, durable, and versatile canvas for your printmaking needs Look no further than the Lyve Matte Canvas, a 64" x 40' roll, manufactured by the reputable brand, Breathing Color. This professional-grade, matte poly-cotton inkjet canvas is designed to bring your artistic vision to life with its exceptional detail and resolution capabilities.
Unveiled in May 2009 with the inspiring mantra "Go Live with Lyve", this award-winning canvas has revolutionized the printmaking industry. Its remarkable color gamut and Dmax, combined with its archival certification and easy lamination process, set a new benchmark in fine art and photographic printmaking. Internally, this blend of artistry and engineering is hailed as "the game changer" that captures every nuance of your images.
The Lyve Canvas is a 19 mil bright white, consistent poly-cotton blend matte canvas, featuring an acid-free, neutral pH coating. This ensures longevity and stability for your prints, without the color shift or metamerism issues common with other canvases.
The "Chromata White" technology incorporated in the Lyve Canvas provides a stable platform for printing photographs and fine art giclees. This technology eliminates the need for Optical Brighteners, which can compromise true color and profiling accuracy, and deteriorate over time. Despite being OBA-free, the Lyve Canvas still maintains a bright white surface, thanks to the "Chromata White" technology.
The Lyve Canvas is also highly water-resistant, making it compatible with Glamour II Veneer, a proprietary water-based top coat designed specifically for inkjet canvas. When coated with Glamour II, the canvas will not crack, even under the most rigorous stretching conditions, making it ideal for canvas gallery wraps.
With a 15% measurable improvement in Dmax and color gamut compared to the Chromata White Canvas, the Lyve Canvas delivers an eye-popping color range. It also offers incredible resolution, capturing detail and nuance in your images that you may have missed on other canvases.
The Lyve Canvas has passed the rigorous Blue Wool Test, conducted by a UKAS accredited laboratory, meeting and exceeding the standards set by the Fine Art Trade Guild for pH and lightfastness. This ensures that your prints will maintain their quality and vibrancy for years to come.
In conclusion, the Lyve Matte Canvas is not just a canvas, but a tool that allows artists and photographers to create masterpieces with confidence and ease. Its durability, versatility, and affordability make it a top choice for professionals and hobbyists alike.
