Encad has released its new Matte Artists' Canvas Media, a 17 ml matte canvas that creates quality photographic, digital fine-art, and original fine-art reproductions. Using this special canvas, one can now reproduce a favourite image so that it looks and feels like an original artwork.

This media solution contains a special coating that resists cracking and peeling when users stretch images for finishing and framing. When used with Encad's GX (Graphic Extend) lightfast ink, Artists' Canvas Media produces colour images that enjoy the industry's leading certification for indoor lightfast archival durability and fade resistance. Prints hung indoors last up to 15 years in fluorescent light and up to six years with indirect sunlight. Prints in direct sunlight benefit from a lightfastness of up to seven months.

The Matte Artists' Canvas is compatible with both of Encad's indoor dye-based ink sets. GS PLUS (Graphic Standard PLUS) delivers the widest colour gamut and GX offers industry-leading lightfastness. Both ink sets are available in eight-colour dilution configurations that compliment Encad's award-winning, eight-colour NovaJet 850 wide-format printer.
