Canvas on Photos

At a few purpose most photographers deem how long their printed pictures will end. As we feel about this point we can see how this thought originates at the heart of photography, after all when we take a image we are trying to protect a instant in time. We are creating a remembrance of something that will never be precisely the same. In view of this expressed thought when we print our images we want them to stay their visual honesty. Yes, we want them to contemplate as

good as they did the day they were printed 100 years from at present and longer.


Sensibly is this likely and how can we decide how extended photo's and specially in this article photo's on canvas will end? As a customer this question becomes significant specially when we are parting with cash in exchange for prints.

To answer these questions there are some variables we must consider.

We must appreciate that not everybody is going to show their images under the same environment. Some will display their picture framed with goblet, others will without goblet. Some will hang them in rooms with bright lights, a few in areas of their house or office that get daylight for part of the day. Still, others will hang them in areas with high dampness such as bathrooms. All of these scenarios have a bearing on the long life of a photo on canvas. In glow of this we realize that applying "show durability Ratings" to an picture that we are going to hang in a given area, will give us not an correct, but common idea of how extended that image will behind. The deciding factors are not just the ink, canvas, sealer, ext. Though these are significant, equally important is the situation the image will be displayed in.

The company that has actually pioneered the most excused tests for measuring displayed print long continuance is Wilhelm Imaging Investigate Inc. The expression "Display Durability Ratings" refers to a standard of tests that show the longevity of prints. This company is not a producer of imaging products but is a third party investigate business which allows them to be more objective and non incomplete when rating print durability. Their tests take into deliberation such factors as light-fastness humidity-fastness ozone-fastness as well as other factors. Their investigate has shown that excellence inks, joint with quality canvas, printed on a quality printer and lastly preserved with a quality sealer can produce photo canvas prints that will last anywhere from 60 to 142 years without "perceptible fading". Some of the constant features of these check environments are that the light is 12 hours a day at an disclosure brightness of 450 Lux The temperature being 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% dampness. It is of great value to know that various household display areas are similar to this explanation of these trial environments.


Reality like this is invaluable to both Print Professionals and customers.

Undoubtedly many would agree that it is the liability of the print professional to be educated about such things.

The canvas selected by a print store should be archival. The company that manufactures the canvas should stand by their product with a surety that their canvas will outlast the inks used to print on them.

The inks too should be archival, industry tested like Epson Ultra Chrome K3™ inks.

Lastly the sealer should encapsulate the ink protecting it from ozone as well as having UV protecting qualities. It should also be water defiant if not water proof. The reason for such a high standard for the sealer is because at present I am using a sealer that is so wonderful I have literally taken a canvas print preserved with it and put it under a running faucet for ten seconds. The water just beaded and revolved off with no perceptible effect to the print.

So then a company that has done their homework, and strives to produce the greatest product they possibly can. should be able to divulge to their clients with confidence "under reasonable conditions your photo to canvas will last 100 years.
