Picasso Canvas is a single side coated Artistic Canvas for highest quality graphic arts applications printers with eco and true-solvent inks. Due to the special coating, this high-end Canvas is suitable for heavy ink-loads and uniform area-prints also in critical color-tones. The drying time is excellent and the ink-fixation on the surface is optimised in the coating. The coated surface is water-repellent and the light-stability with common eco and true-solvent inks is excellent.
The Picasso Canvas is also suitable for the use with UV-curable printers. The product was tested with different UV-curable inks from Colorspan and Zünd. The fixation of the ink to the surface is very strong and the UV-lamps can be run on reduced performance (low) to avoid high temperatures and a possible cracking of the inks. The print is water-resistant. Main applications are for indoor only.
