UV Blanket

The UV Coating choice applies to

Canvas Prints

– all giclee canvases MUST accept either a matte or gloss UV coating. The coating protects the surface of the canvass and enhances the colour. In most cases we recommend the Gloss Blanket, which is closer to a “lustre” and makes the colors very rich. Unless you have a special reason not to glaze canvas, we volition insist on providing some last top blanket, or we cannot guarantee its durability.

UV Coating Fine Art papers:Giclee papers do not need a UV Coating, both the papers & the inks are archival without them. Coating the paper also changes its texture, so we don’t recommend it. Sometimes artists volition ask to take fine art papers UV coated (peculiarly when reproducing oil/acrylic paintings on paper). We generally castor-on this type of UV Blanket to create a “brushstroke” texture. Otherwise we do not coat our papers. Photo-papers CANNOT be UV Coated.

White
, a

Effect
. When creating an image wrap, we don’t crop any of your original image, instead we digitally create new image area to simulate the picture extending effectually the edges. Certain images practice non wrap equally well as others (for example lots of details that become too repetitive when repeated, or figures that are cropped partway through the original image) – if your image would not exist a good candidate for an prototype wrap we will contact you prior to press.
