High Glossy Polyester Canvas
A premium digital printing substrate featuring a high-gloss polyester base with a consistent white point, engineered for vibrant color reproduction and dimensional stability.
Product Overview
High Glossy Polyester Canvas is a specialized material designed for high-end digital printing applications. It consists of a polyester fabric coated with a glossy, smooth finishing layer that enhances color saturation and detail clarity. This canvas maintains its structural integrity under varying humidity conditions, preventing warping or sagging over time.
Manufactured with precision coating technology, the material offers a uniform surface receptive to a wide range of pigment and dye-based inks. It is commonly used for gallery wraps, photographic reproductions, and decorative art prints where color fidelity and a reflective finish are key requirements.

Product Benefits
The High Glossy Polyester Canvas is formulated to address specific challenges in high-fidelity printing, offering distinct functional benefits.
Enhanced Color Vibrancy
The gloss surface minimizes light diffusion, resulting in deeper blacks and more saturated colors directly from the printer.
Consistent Dimensional Stability
The polyester base resists expansion and contraction with humidity fluctuations, ensuring prints remain flat and taut on frames.
High Visual Impact
The reflective finish adds depth and luminosity to images, making it suitable for display in well-lit retail or gallery environments.
Product Features
This canvas integrates material science and coating technology to deliver predictable performance for professional printers and finishers.
- Uniform Gloss Layer: A consistently applied coating ensures even ink absorption and dot gain control across the entire surface.
- Rapid Ink Absorption: The micro-porous coating allows inks to set quickly, reducing drying time and potential for smudging.
- Archival Substrate: The polyester fabric is inherently resistant to yellowing and degradation from environmental acids.
- Scratch-Resistant Surface: The top coat provides a degree of protection against handling marks and abrasion.
- Wide Compatibility: Engineered to perform with multiple ink chemistries without cracking or delamination.
- Easy Finishing: The material can be stretched over frames, laminated, or mounted with standard equipment and techniques.
- Low Odor Emission: Manufactured without the use of strong solvents in the coating process.

Handling and Printing Tips
Ink Management
Calibrate printer profiles specifically for this glossy surface to manage dot gain and achieve the intended color density.
Drying Conditions
Allow adequate drying and curing time, especially for thick ink deposits, before handling or finishing to prevent surface damage.
Material Handling
Handle with clean cotton gloves to prevent fingerprints on the glossy surface, which can be difficult to remove after printing.
Display Considerations
Position finished pieces to avoid direct, harsh light at oblique angles to minimize glare on the glossy surface for optimal viewing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common inquiries regarding the use, specifications, and handling of High Glossy Polyester Canvas.
Lamination is not strictly required as the surface has inherent scuff resistance. However, for high-traffic areas or additional protection against UV and moisture, a liquid laminate or overlaminating film can be applied.
This canvas is primarily formulated for indoor use. For outdoor applications, a UV-protective laminate is essential, and even then, the lifespan will be significantly shorter than materials engineered for exterior durability.
Standard canvas stretching techniques with staple guns are suitable. Ensure the print is fully cured and acclimated to room humidity before stretching to prevent any later slackening.
Like all gloss surfaces, it can produce specular highlights under direct light. For best results, position lighting diffusely or at a perpendicular angle to the print surface.
Store rolls upright in a cool, dry place (50-80°F / 10-27°C), away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Keep in original packaging until ready for use.
