Print shops, fine-art reproduction companies, photographers and other PSPs can now offer their customers canvas prints without the canvas: Sunset Photo Canvas Paper 230g fromLexJet. The new photo paper is LexJet’s popular Premium Archival Matte Paper embossed with a canvas texture, complete with all the benefits of Premium Archival Matte: an instant-dry coating for smudge-free printing and handling; a large color gamut for high-contrast, high-resolution printing; and an acid-free, pH-neutral thick and heavy base for trouble-free printing, mounting and framing.
This new paper from LexJet saves a lot of time, cost and labor because it’s basically a two-step process: it comes off the printer, PSPs mount it and it’s done. It gives a canvas look, texture and feel at a lower price point than canvas, and the image quality is great. However, Sunset Photo Canvas Paper 230g is not an alternative for canvas gallery and museum wraps. Rather, it is an alternative for mounted and framed canvas prints since canvas can be difficult to mount to a board due to its weight and physical properties.
