Matte Polyester Canvas
A matte-finished, polyester-based canvas offering a non-reflective surface for accurate color viewing, ideal for art reproductions and professional displays.
Product Overview
Matte Polyester Canvas is a digital printing substrate designed to produce artwork and graphics with a traditional, non-glare appearance. The material utilizes a 100% polyester fabric base, which is then coated with a finely textured matte layer. This coating diffuses light evenly, reducing reflections and making details visible from wide viewing angles.
The canvas is engineered for high-resolution printing, supporting fine detail and smooth tonal gradations. Its matte surface is particularly suited for black-and-white photography and artwork where glare control is essential. The polyester foundation provides resistance to moisture and dimensional changes.

Product Benefits
This canvas provides specific functional advantages for applications where color accuracy and viewer comfort are prioritized.
Reduced Glare & Reflections
The matte surface scatters incident light, allowing artwork to be viewed clearly under various lighting conditions without hotspots or glare.
Accurate Color Perception
Eliminates the color shift that can occur with gloss surfaces under angled light, ensuring colors appear as intended by the designer.
Superior Dimensional Stability
The polyester base minimizes stretching or sagging over time, crucial for large format prints that remain flat on frames.
Product Features
The material incorporates several design features that contribute to its performance as a professional-grade substrate.
- Consistent Matte Coating: A uniformly applied coating ensures even ink absorption and consistent finish across the entire print area.
- High Resolution Capable: The fine-tooth surface texture holds ink droplets precisely, enabling reproduction of sharp details and fine lines.
- Archival Polyester Base: Resists yellowing, tearing, and degradation from environmental pollutants, supporting long-term display.
- Ink Optimized Surface: The coating is formulated to work with a broad range of ink types without cracking or flaking.
- Easy to Handle and Finish: Can be easily stretched, mounted, or laminated using standard studio or workshop equipment.
- Low-Odor Production: Manufactured using processes that minimize volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
- Wide Viewing Angle: The non-reflective surface ensures the image is visible without color shift from virtually any position in a room.
Product Applications
Its non-reflective quality and color fidelity make it a preferred choice for a range of professional and artistic applications.
Fine Art & Limited Edition Prints
Preferred by artists and printmakers for reproductions that mimic the look of original paintings or traditional giclée prints on paper.
- Artist Proofs: Used for creating accurate proofing prints for approval before a full edition is produced.
- Gallery Exhibitions: Provides a professional, non-glare presentation suitable for critical viewing under gallery lighting.
Corporate & Office Environments
Used for decorative graphics in offices, conference rooms, and lobbies where lighting from multiple sources can cause glare issues.
- Branded Wall Graphics: Corporate imagery and messaging displayed in offices without the distraction of surface reflections.
- Architectural Renderings: Large-format prints of architectural plans and visualizations for client presentations.
Educational & Museum Displays
Ideal for informational displays, reproductions of historical documents, and educational graphics in museums and schools.
- Exhibition Panels: Text and image panels that remain readable under varied lighting conditions.
- Document Reproductions: Facsimiles of maps, manuscripts, and photographs where detail is critical.
Application Suitability
| Application | Recommended Ink | Key Benefit | Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Art Reproduction | Pigment-based Archival | Authentic, non-glare finish | May require a protective spray for handling |
| Corporate Decor | Latex, UV-curable | Readable under office lights | Durable; easy to clean with a dry cloth |
| Museum Display | Archival Pigment | Long-term color stability | Often used unframed or with minimal framing |
Printing and Post-Processing Advice
Printer Calibration
Use an ICC profile specifically created for this matte canvas to achieve correct color saturation and black density, as matte surfaces absorb more light.
Ink Laydown
Matte surfaces can appear slightly less vibrant than gloss. Some printer drivers allow for increased ink limits to compensate; test to find the optimal setting.
Handling Precautions
The matte coating can be susceptible to fingerprints and skin oils. Handle prints by the edges or with cotton gloves during finishing.
Protective Coatings
For added protection in high-handling environments, consider applying a clear, non-yellowing matte spray coating after printing is fully cured.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about the properties and use of Matte Polyester Canvas.
Colors on matte surfaces appear deeper and more subdued because the surface scatters light. Blacks are rich without a sheen, while glossy canvases produce more "pop" and saturation due to light reflection.
Yes, it is compatible with dye-sublimation processes. The polyester base readily accepts sublimation dyes, and the matte coating provides a suitable receptor layer for vibrant transfer.
Yes, matte or luster laminates can be applied. Ensure the laminate is specifically designed for canvas substrates to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
Light dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth is recommended. For smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid chemical cleaners or excessive rubbing.
The key difference is the base fabric. 100% polyester offers greater moisture resistance and dimensional stability. Poly-cotton blends often have a more traditional canvas texture but can be more susceptible to environmental changes.
