Canvas: Artist quality, acid free, bright white cotton canvas 415gsm Museum grade print varnish, spray applied means no streaks Pigmented Ultrachrome inks printed at superfine 1440 dpi direct to the canvas Advantages: Excellent print resolution and colour Non-yellowing Resists warping Satin finish has a luxurious lustre similar to a photo or oil paint without being overly glossy or prone to glare 75 year fade resistance in normal light (200 years in ideal conditions) Description: When buying from Wallkandi you will receive a fine art quality, long lasting print. We seal the prints which is an important
conservation step frequently omitted elsewhere (particularly in shops
that print canvases on the premises where the spraying process is
impossible).
We
do not use cost-cutting gimmicks such as wood baton frames without
tensioning pegs (as found in most supermarket canvases), MDF boxes,
t-shirt transfer technologies (e.g. dye sublimation), paper stuck onto
canvas, plastic lamination, etc. These things are often hyped as
superior by others but although they sometimes have the odd practical
advantage, the reality is they are just quicker and cheaper to produce
and the results are more frequently disappointing or less durable
overall. Some other canvases on the market will fade or go green within
a year! Stretcher Bars (Frames):
Our standard frame is made from a high grade, kiln dried redwood. It is a finished size of 44mm x 44mm. The profile is carefully cut at an angle of 75 degrees ensuring
that the canvas stretches easily over the frame. A 3mm radius is routed on the front edge to ensure the frame is not visible under the canvas. Corners are accurately mitred. They are glued and double screwed
to provide an exceptionally strong joint.
On larger frames a metal corner brace is also fitted. Frames larger that 1000mm (40 inches) will be fitted with a cross
bar.
