New 15-mil art canvas and blockout banner materials from Precision Coatings, Inc. are designed for projects that require optimal image quality with long-lasting pigmented inks.
The art canvas has a bright, white matte finish and is suggested for art reproductions, wall murals, and backdrops. The heavyweight, tear-resistant canvas is stretchable for framing, but is water-resistant, so protective glass isn't necessary.
The vinyl-blockout banner media is 100% opaque and designed to produce bright, sharp colors on its smooth white matte finish. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor jobs and can stand up to the weather and sun without lamination. The media can be grommeted for mounting, draped, and sewn into larger banners.
Both products are designed for use with water-based, pigmented inks on popular models of wide-format inkjets from Hewlett-Packard, Epson, and Encad. (Precision Coatings: 800-521-8380, www.pcicoatings.com)
