Epson Adds Natural Canvas to Signature Worthy Media Collection

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PhotoPlus Expo, Booth #701 -- Epson America, Inc. today added three new canvases to its Signature Worthy® collection. Designed with input from leading galleries, photographers, artists, fine art reproduction houses, and print-for-pay businesses, Epson's new Exhibition Canvas Natural delivers gallery-quality prints with industry-leading Dmax and color gamut without employing optical brightening agents (OBAs). Exhibition Canvas Natural is available in a Gloss, Satin and Matte finish and features a new OBA-free coating that maintains a bright white point for saturated colors, rich blacks and excellent shadow detail.

"Epson values the input we receive from the industry and the new Exhibition Canvas Natural Signature Worthy canvases are a direct result of feedback from the professional community," said Jeff Smith, product manager, Epson America, Inc. "Our media engineers went through a rigorous process to develop an OBA-free canvas that maintains bright whites, deep blacks and a wide color gamut that meets the demanding requirements of a Signature Worthy media."

Constructed on a flexible base of blended cotton and polyester, the 19 mil thick Exhibition Canvas Natural media are both durable and offer improved flexibility, allowing them to be coated and stretched for easy finishing and framing. All three Exhibition Canvas Natural products will ship through Epson Authorized Resellers in roll widths of 13, 17, 24, 44-inches in November and 60-inch roll widths and 17" x 22" cut sheets will be available in December.  

The new Exhibition Canvas Natural will be on display in the Epson booth (#701) at the 2012 PDN PhotoPlus Conference + Expo, Oct. 25-27, 2012. For more information about Epson Exhibition Canvas Natural, visit www.proimaging.epson.com.
