Materials

Our premium lustre and cotton-blend paper prints use the latest generation of superior inks to ensure both colour fidelity and an archival level of stability for long-lasting artworks.

Aluminum prints are created through dye sublimation, a combined heat and pressure infusion process applied directly to a glaze coated upon the aluminum. The dyes are held in microscopic suspension, which allows light to pass through and reflect off the metal surface; in effect, the image is lit from behind. Our largest single aluminum panel is 4 feet by 8 feet (1.22m x 2.44m). Larger images are possible with multiple panels such as a diptych or triptych.

Aluminum prints are lightweight and do not require glass protection. These art pieces can be hung flat with the provided hanging hardware, or they can be framed. The surface is easily kept clean with the supplied micro fibre cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

Dye sublimation produces an archival quality print that will last a lifetime. The aluminum prints can be placed both indoors and outdoors - a large piece above our gallery entrance, exposed to the elements for a number of years, has suffered no visible deterioration. For more extreme environmental conditions, we are able to laminate glass to the surface of our metal prints for further protection, such as for backsplashes and shower enclosures.

Our exhibition quality canvas prints are created with premium archival inks providing an optimum vibrancy for both a large colour gamut and rich black and whites. Each print is laminated with a protective UV coating which penetrates deep into the canvas for lasting conservation, your art will endure for generations. 

All of our canvas works are hand-stretched onto Canadian kiln dried bevelled hemlock, and the edges are finished with premium matte fabric tape.
