100% bleached cotton fabrics with a patented infusion preparation for inkjet printing. The products are very white with a matte finish, and have no Gesso Coating. The technology employed in the manufacture of the preparation is environmentally friendly and chemically inert.

Designed for aqueous based dye and pigment inks, and will reproduce images with brilliance and clarity depending on inks and profiles used. It is extremely durable. Depending on the pigment ink used, it can withstand hand washing or machine washing (gentle cycle). The fabrics have passed rigorous testing for fade resistance, and resist well to both humidity and UV. In doing so, they also enhance the fade resistance of the inks over what would be expected of the same inks on other substrates

The inkjet surface will resist scratches and scrapes better than most fine art inkjet substrates, and the fabric can be stretched, twisted, pulled, and wrinkled. Its reproductive quality and durability permits these fabrics to excel as mediums for photographic and fine art reproduction, as well as applications beyond typical inkjet canvas. It is useful in projects ranging from matte board preparation to interior wall coverings, and various works in fine art. This is a 100% bleached cotton with an even weave, inkjet printable on one side.

Giclée is a French word meaning spraying of ink. Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) a Giclée print is an archival print using only pigmented inks — not dye inks, which can fade. The archival papers are acid free 100% cotton, all rag paper. The ink is sprayed on specially prepared paper or canvas by a large format ink jet printer with a very high resolution print head. Giclees are one of the finest reproduction methods available today. The depth of color far surpasses that of lithographs. Lithographs use the same process as printing a magazine, litho inks have dyes in them which is absorbed into the paper and will fades over time. Pigment based inks are superior in archival quality than dye based inks. More information @ Giclée Print Net, Inc. gicleeprint.net/
