The Artcare
Archival System helps to protect your framed photographs
by holding harmful pollutant gases and acids away from the artwork.
It traps and then actually neutralizes these damaging elements so
they no longer pose a threat to your photographs. |

The aesthetic quality of matting
helps draw the viewer's eye into the picture. However, the primary
purpose of a mat is to protect artwork by creating space between
the art and the glass for air to circulate, thus protecting the
artwork from damage over time. Our knowledgeable staff can assist
you in choosing suitable mats for any image.
All custom cut mats have a beveled edge which shows
about 1/16" of the mat board core. A double mat is created
by using two separate mats that are chosen to enhance the colours
in your image. The bottom mat can be sized to suit . A common inner
mat is approximately 1/8" to 5/16."

Canvas Transfers are created by first applying a durable, non-reflective, UV-blocking laminate finish onto the surface of the fine art print or poster. This protects the the image from fading and water damage. The image is then lifted from the paper and transferred onto 100% cotton duck canvas.
The canvas is then stretched onto a wooden frame (stretcher bars) and the edges are finished with a black fabric tape. The final product retains the texture of the canvas and can be hung as a fine art piece with or without a picture frame. To clean the surface of the image you can use a damp cloth or a glass cleaner.
Please note: The canvas transfer process shrinks the image approximately 1/4" to 1/2" from the original size. |
