Epson’s Exhibition Canvas Gloss, Exhibition Canvas Satin and Exhibition Canvas Matte Give Professional Photographers and Fine Artists Museum-Worthy Image Quality and Durability

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Dec. 15, 2010 – Epson America, Inc. today announced three new canvas products that will be added to its Signature Worthy® collection of media. Engineered for the most discerning professional photographers, artists, fine art reproduction houses, and print-for-pay businesses, Epson’s Exhibition Canvas Gloss, Exhibition Canvas Satin and Exhibition Canvas Matte enable users to achieve industry-leading DMax and color gamut for prints that require stunning, museum-grade image quality and durability.

“Epson is very excited about expanding its Signature Worthy Collection of media again for the world’s top photographers and artists,” said Jeff Smith, product manager, Epson America, Inc. “These canvas products were developed through the collaboration of our engineers and industry-leading experts who understand the advantages and complexities of working with canvas. The end result is a selection of new canvases that will enable artists to produce some of the finest works on canvas the industry has seen to date.”

Exhibition Canvas Gloss, Satin and Matte products are built on a polyester and cotton blend that is specially coated to produce vibrant colors as well as rich, deep blacks and tonal gradations that distinguish them from competitive products. These heavy 21 millimeter poly-cotton canvases can also be easily stretched and coated to help achieve the best combination of image quality and archival display life.

All three Exhibition Canvas products are available in roll widths of 13, 17, 24, 44 and 60-inches, and 17” x 22” cut sheets will be available in early 2011.
