As of August 2009 we pretty much use Breathing Color Canvas for our canvas prints, the main reason is the way it works so well with Glamour II varnish which is also made by Breathing Color.
Chromata White™ Canvas is a textured 20.5 mil Bright White, consistent Poly Cotton Blend Matte Canvas using an acid-free, neutral pH coating. Unlike 99.9% of available inkjet canvas products on the market today (for giclee printing), this canvas utilizes our "Chromata White" optical brightener additive-free and Fluorescent Whitening agent-free breakthrough technology.
"Chromata White" gives the end-user the most stable platform on which to print photographs and fine art giclees without the metamerism issues or color shift issues inherent on other canvases. Optical Brighteners compromise the attainment of true color, they complicate profiling accuracy, and they inevitably deteriorate and yellow over time.
The water resistant surface works exceptionally well with Glamour™ II Veneer, our proprietary water-based top coat coating designed specifically for our line of inkjet canvas (click here to see a video demonstration and for further information on Glamour II). If coated with Glamour II, this canvas will not crack even under extremely rigorous stretching conditions (canvas gallery wrap).
*Chromata White™ Canvas can be adhered to just about any surface (such as masonite board) by simply applying Glamour II Veneer coating onto the underneath surface of the canvas. Today, Glamour II is commonly used as a very effective mounting adhesive for those who prefer not to stretch canvas giclees. In addtion to all Epson printers, Chromata White is also suited for all Roland printers, including the Eco-Sol printers using Eco-sol ink as well as the Roland's new "Max" ink.
