Redefining The Printing Of Photo On Canvas

48 Hour Canvas is a company that was founded on the principle of quality above all. Achieving superb photo on canvas print quality is always our aim, and using the best available printer technology is fundamental to achieving it. Digital printing has come a long way in recent years, and new technologies are developed all the time. Having experience with many of the large-format printers used for Giclée canvas art, there really was only one choice for us…

Epson is one of those firms that are never fully satisfied with the printing technology they introduce. They never stop thinking and experimenting. And after they finally develop what you think is the best printing technology possible, they push further to make it even better. Their new Stylus Pro 9880 model marked a watershed in the printers we use to make photo on canvas, and the improvements are ground-breaking.

Epson UltraChrome K3™ is the standard by which all other professional level ink technologies are judged. New enhancements include breakthrough new Vivid Magenta pigments, and a new-generation, three-level black ink technology, significantly raising the quality of both colour and black and white digital prints. We are now able to produce archival canvas prints with amazing colour fidelity and scratch resistance, while providing consistently stable colours that significantly outperform lesser ink technologies.

The three-level black system and a unique screening technology have been specifically developed to produce professional black-and-white prints from both colour and greyscale photos. These technologies improve overall black density for significantly richer blacks, as well as outstanding midtones and highlights.

Amazingly consistent prints are now possible, with no colour crossover or colour cast. Whether your photos are neutral, greyscale or vibrant, the Epson Ultrachrome ink set will render your image with uncompromising quality. This superior colour gamut and clarity gives an almost three-dimensional look that goes beyond what a traditional photograph can produce.

A photo on canvas is printed by a printer capable of spraying microscopic droplets of pigmented ink directly onto the canvas. This process is known as Giclée. With an even higher level of ink droplet accuracy, Epson have developed the all new MicroPiezo® AMC™ print head and an all-new ink repelling coating. When combined the new Epson AccuPhoto™HD screening technology, the astonishing resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi is now possible, for unrivalled levels of photographic detail.

Suffice to say we’re delighted with the extraordinary performance of Epson’s latest large-format photographic printer, and we’re positive you’ll be even more excited by the results. Once you see your completed photo on canvas, you’ll see for yourself what all the fuss is about!
