| Light Fastness |
Sunset by Fredrix Matte Canvas has been granted archival-quality certification by Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc., to last up to and beyond 200 years when printed with Epson UltraChrome HDR pigment inks or Canon LUCIA EX pigment inks. The fading time of ink jet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose, as well as the environment where the print is displayed. All dye-based inks fade noticeably under direct sunlight and in interior applications where direct sunlight may fall on the image, and/or, where fluorescent or other UV lighting is present. Although the fading process is inherent in all ink jet inks, certain UV enhanced inks, pigment-based inks, and UV inhibiting coatings will extend the longevity of ink color. Contact the ink manufacturer to determine a specific ink's suitability for a particular application. |
| Finishing/Post Processing |
No post processing or finishing is required on this canvas, however, a clear fixative, such as LexJet Sunset Coatings, may be applied to enhance certain areas of the print. |
| Optimal Print Environment |
66-77° F , 20-60% R.H |
| Handling Recommendations |
Due to the absorptive nature of the coating, you should avoid touching the coated surface. It's always recommended that cotton gloves be used when handling inkjet coated materials. Rolls of LexJet film are supplied with the coated side facing out. |
| Ideal Storage Conditions |
70° F (21° C), 50% R.H. (a controlled environment is recommended); store in original packaging. |
| Shelf Life |
1 year from the LexJet ship date when stored in proper conditions. |
