Why You’ll Love Our Canvas Prints
We have been involved in printing canvas since the very first large-format color inkjet printer (Iris) was introduced in 1985. With a background in art reproduction and customers including Art Galleries, we make sure your canvas prints are vibrant, detailed, and made to last for generations. The printers we use today to produce canvas prints utilize 12 colours of light stable inks, guaranteeing the widest possible colour gamut and detail, crispness and longevity.
Isn’t All Canvas the Same?
No, not at all. There are as many different types of canvas as there are papers, but there are only a few we would even consider printing on. We tested (and are still constantly testing) all the leading canvas on the market, and finally found what we consider to be the very best. Our canvas is 100 % cotton, and triple gesso coated right here in Canada. Art Extreme Canvas is whitened using an environmentally safe process and at 450gsm in weight, it not only looks great but feels perfect.
The Perfect Varnish
Every Art Extreme canvas is protected with a museum quality, hand-applied varnish, manufactured by Breathing Color in California. Just like original paintings are protected, your canvas is coated to protect it from fading and cracking. Be wary of canvas products that are pre-coated, uncoated or protected with mechanically applied laminates because they will not stand the test of time.
How We Stretch
“Stretching” when it comes to canvas, doesn’t mean your image is distorted, it’s just the term used to describe how the canvas is mounted tightly around a wooden frame so that it doesn’t have to be framed (unless you want it to, in which case, it doesn’t need glass). At Extreme Imaging, we’ve stretched a lot of canvas and we’re pretty good at it if we do say so ourselves. Quality is our number one concern, which is why our frames are made from kiln-dried (nice and straight) Canadian basswood which, of course, comes from renewable forests.
