with their archival Lucia pigmented inks, will produce a print on these products with a life span in excess of 100+ years (subject to display conditions).
Once the canvas has been printed, an extra finish can be applied in the form of a varnish. The varnish acts as a protective layer to the print, increases the archival life and gives a unique finish to the product. The varnish can be applied either by roller, sponge or brush. Each application will produce a different textured finish to the canvas. The roller produces a smooth natural finish allowing the texture of the canvas to show through, whilst the sponge will produce a rustic textured finish. The brush will create paint strokes, which mimic the artists original brush strokes.

Once you have completed the first two stages, you are now ready for stretching. Here is the answer to that often-asked question: "how can I stretch my own canvases". |
It's simple - with Velmex Dried Stretcher Bars - our recommended, easy to use canvas stretcher kits. These kits are available now and simple to use as well as economical. Remember to ask about them when discussing your Wide Format Printer purchase.
By using Velmex Dried Stretcher Bars, you will get a long lasting rigid product. They are made of dried wood and are much less prone to natural expansion and contraction which happens with many other stretcher bars. The wedges supplied with the bars helps the stretching process. They allow you you to get the last small percentage of stretch from the stretcher bars to create a rigid framed piece of artwork.
