Canvas Varnish Coatings:

Canvas Protection - Protect you canvas from damage with our protection layer.

 

Here at Organic image, we highly recommend our canvas protection service. The process involves our production team spraying your canvas with two, even layers of high quality giclee varnish. Unlike other canvas art retailers who paint the varnish onto the canvas using a brush or roller, we have our own purpose built spray booth to coat the canvases using a high pressure spray gun system, similar to the ones used when spraying a car. This ensures a professional even coating with no paint runs or drip marks.

 

Customers are reminded that althougth your canvas will not fade or distort in colour, it is still subjected to damage or marking if not protected with our spray coating. Touching the surface of the canvas can leave oily hand marks especially on darker colours (e.g blacks and dark reds), and of course any areas of white are susceptible to getting marked. We highly recommend you choose to have your canvas sprayed, not only to protect it from marks and dust, but to give that satin sheen to the product which makes all of the colours in the print even more vibrant.

Enhancement of Colours:

 

Not only does the canvas protection layer protect your canvas it also enhances the colours of the print and makes them look more vibrant. Above is an example of two identical canvas prints, one has the spray coating and the other is left as it was printed. Very similar to covering your artwork with a custom clear.

Common causes of where damage can occur to your canvas:

 

We've listed some of the most common causes of damage to canvases that have occurred in the past with customers who opted not to apply a protective coating below;

 

  • Scratching on the surface; "My young son decided to run his toy car all over the front of my canvas, how can I fix this?"

  • Water damage; "My friend spilt their glass of wine and it splattered all over our canvas"

  • Dirt & Dust; "Over time a layer of dirt has collected on the top of my canvas, I tried to clean it with a damp cloth and now it is ruined"

  •  

The above shows some of the damage that has occurred in the past to our customers canvases who have not opted for the canvas coating. Customers who do opt to have the protective layer can wipe down any marks from their canvas with the knowledge that they won't ruin it.
