We laminate your canvas print for extra protection
Each of our canvas prints are sprayed with two coats of a protective laminate. This is an essential step that ensures your canvas print lasts as long as possible. The process involves spraying a sealing layer of the protective coating over the entire print.
The laminate we use is manufactured for us in Australia and is polyurethane based. Many canvas printers use cheaper, acrylic based laminates that tend to crack and peel. Our laminate also contains ultra-violet blockers which are microscopic metal particle that reflect harmful UV rays. In fact, the laminate alone is rated to protect the print for 75 years (on top of the inherant archival qualities of the ink).
You will benefit from the antifungal components that are built into our laminate. These stop mould and mildew growing on your print, which is especially important in Singapore's tropical climate.
Our laminate is also scratch resistant, water resistant and boosts the colour in your canvas print. We offer a choice of high gloss, matte, or satin.
A canvas print without laminate is like a car without paint. It will deteriorate quickly and result in a print that looks terrible.
The image below shows how tough the protective laminate we apply to our canvas print really is. The printed canvas samples have both been through a full cycle in a washing machine, with washing powder. The sample on the right was not laminated prior to conducting the experiment. The sample of the left had a coating of our laminate.
