The colors really pop with this canvas. The oranges, reds and yellows of autumn look better than ever. I will definitely continue to use.

About Breathing Color Crystalline

Crystalline is a 440 gsm aqueous inkjet canvas that comes pre-made in both gloss and satin finishes. This high performance inkjet canvas should be used with photo black ink and will deliver industry-leading dmax and color gamut a step above every other glossy or matte inkjet canvas available today. Crystalline, similar to Breathing Color's Lyve flagship matte canvas, utilizes Breathing Color's "Chromata White" optical brightener additive-free (i.e No OBA's are used in this product) and fluorescent whitening agent-free breakthrough technology.

What makes Crystalline so attractive is its ease of use; it has incredible scuff resistance, water-resistance and will not crack or tear when stretching even if no print varnish is applied. Since this inkjet canvas is OBA-free, longevity will be significantly lengthened even when displayed without a print varnish. To maximize longevity, Breathing Color always recommends applying a print varnish to all aqueous canvas prints.
