Chromata White Canvas is a textured 19 mil bright white, consistent poly-cotton blend matte canvas using an acid-free, neutral pH coating. Released in 2005, Chromata White was the first ever OBA-free canvas to hit the market and it has since revolutionized the giclee printing industry.

KEY FEATURES

INCREDIBLE COLOR GAMUT & DMAX

Characteristic of all Breathing Color inkjet media, Chromata White delivers exceptional color gamut & Dmax.

OBA-FREE, YET STILL BRIGHT WHITE

Called “Chromata White”, this breakthrough technology has set Breathing Color apart for years. Normally, OBA-Free products have a yellowish surface. Our “Chromata White” technology, which we released in 2005, forever changed this by delivering OBA-Free with the desired bright white surface. This answered the needs of our customers to maximize the longevity of their prints while maintaining the most popular and desired look.

“Chromata White” gives the end-user the most stable platform on which to print photographs and fine art giclees without the metamerism issues or color shift issues inherent on other canvases. Optical Brighteners compromise the attainment of true color, they complicate profiling accuracy, and they inevitably deteriorate and yellow over time.

ARCHIVAL CERTIFIED

Chromata White is archival certified for 100+ years. Download and utilize Chromata’s Archival Certificate to differentiate your business and show your customers how much you care about quality.

COLOR CONSISTENCY UNDER DIFFERENT LIGHTING CONDITIONS

Ever noticed how a print can look identical under one light source, yet show remarkable differences in color when viewed under a different light source? This problem is referred to as “metamerism”. When OBA’s are used in inkjet media, the metamerism problem exacerbates exponentially. Because this product is manufactured OBA-free, you are assured that your prints will look consistent under different lighting conditions.

NO CRACKING OR TEARING WHEN STRETCHING

When varnished with Timeless Gloss, Satin, or Matte, Chromata White will not crack or tear when stretched.

HIGHLY WATER-RESISTANT

All of our inkjet canvas grades share this feature.

OTHER PRODUCT INFORMATION

Chromata White Canvas is among the most archival canvases available today. In addition, its breakthrough technology results in a canvas that is whiter than traditional canvas manufactured with OBA’s. Chromata White Canvas utilizes our most advanced inkjet canvas coating technology that is an industry leader in Dmax and Color Gamut. It was designed to deliver roll to roll CONSISTENCY from one production to the next.

The water resistant surface works exceptionally well with Glamour II Veneer, our proprietary water-based top coat coating designed specifically for our line of inkjet canvas (click here to see a video demonstration and for further information on Glamour II). If coated with Glamour II, this canvas will not crack even under extremely rigorous stretching conditions (canvas gallery wrap).

*Chromata White Canvas can be adhered to just about any surface (such as masonite board) by simply applying Glamour II Veneer coating onto the underneath surface of the canvas. Today, Glamour II is commonly used as a very effective mounting adhesive for those who prefer not to stretch canvas giclees. In addition to all Epson and Canon printers, Chromata White is also suited for all Roland printers, including the Eco-Sol printers using Eco-sol ink as well as the Roland’s new “Max” ink.
