PRODUCT DETAILS.
MATERIALS
We Use Only Premium Materials.
Our materials ensure your piece will look as good in 10 years as it did the first day you hung it up
We use a High Quality canvas to print your digital reproduction with a Gallery quality and Eco Solvent Inks to maintain a safe environment.
​
1) It Starts With A High-Quality Image
Our team of designers carefully review each piece of art for high-quality resolution.
​
2) The Canvas
We use poly-cotton canvas to secure the advantages of both polyester and cotton.
As a result, our canvas is able to absorb and hold color as a cotton canvas would, but still delivers the sharp, vibrant finish of a polyester canvas.
This allows your canvas print to withstand the test of time and still look like it did the first day you hung it on the wall.
3) The Inks
During the the printing process, our ink is just as important as the canvas it is printed on.
We use high quality Eco-Inks or UV Inks.
​
What is a UV Ink?
UV Inks are specialty inks that are dried or cured with ultraviolet light, in contrast to traditional inks, which are solvent based and need to sit in order to dry or be treated.
​
UV Inks | A Technical Viewpoint
-
UV inks are environmentally friendly.
-
UV inks are odorless and can be used for indoor as well as outdoor locations.
-
UV ink printers can reproduce dots as small as 5 picoliters. This is a very small dot size and can generate images of stunning print quality.
-
UV inks are cured by UV lamps. These inks do not dry in the traditional sense but harden and fuse with the substrate beneath. This makes UV inks extremely robust. In addition to being weatherproof, UV inks also have a very strong resistance to scratches and abrasions.
What is a Eco-Solvent Ink?
Eco-solvent ink, also known as light-solvent ink, takes longer to dry, which entails less maintenance for the printer itself.
The ink is able to print on a variety of uncoated surfaces and maintain its bright colors. Once printed, the ink will be waterproof and resistant to scratches.
Eco-solvent Inks | A Technical Viewpoint
-
Eco solvent inks have their colors/dyes suspended in a mild biodegradable solvent. This means that they are harmless to the environment and conform to green parameters.
-
The inks have little or no odor. Hence these prints can be used indoors as well as outside in the open.
-
Ink heads using eco-sol inks have nozzles that can spray ink drops of size 6 picoliters or less. This drop size is extremely small and results in great image reproduction. As a general rule of thumb, the smaller the inkjet drop size, the finer the resolution and the higher the print quality.
-
Eco solvent inks are generally resistant to rain and sunlight.
​
COLOR REPRODUCTION
Will the colors I see on my monitor be exactly how the image prints?
​
The colors you see on your monitor may be close to what is printed, but due to differences in the color calibration of monitors, a perfect match cannot be guaranteed so, your canvas printed could be deliver a -10% +10% color difference vs the monitor's image.
Please, consider it this before place an order.
