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.

Manufactured by Shanghai Hanker Industrial Co., Ltd.

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.

 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.

How does the color vibrancy compare to glossy 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.

Is this canvas suitable for dye sublimation printing?

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.

Can I laminate prints on this canvas?

Yes, matte or luster laminates can be applied. Ensure the laminate is specifically designed for canvas substrates to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.

How do I clean a finished print on this material?

Light dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth is recommended. For smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid chemical cleaners or excessive rubbing.

What is the difference between this and poly-cotton canvas?

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.
