As the canvas printing industry grows it becomes critical that you find a supplier that is using the best materials available, so you get the best canvas print.
The only way that you can be sure that the canvas being used by your supplier is best quality is independent colour testing. There are only a small number of laboratories worldwide that are considered an authority on colour reproduction, longevity, fading etc. The most highly regarded of these is Wilhelm Imaging Research.
Rigorous testing is done on the permanence of inks, make-up of the canvas or paper and their reactions in dry, dark, light, humid and protected conditions. The results are then published so anyone can access them. It is vitally important that the lab be an independent body and recognised as such. Otherwise there is no way to guarantee the results of the testing.
If the canvas is an unknown brand or it hasn’t been independently fade-tested, then how can you know any good? Canvases of unknown brand, origin or construction may be prone to fading over time or even yellowing over time.
