Bespoke Typographic Canvas Art

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

Do you think your work­place would bene­fit by hav­ing some new art?

Wouldn’t it be even bet­ter if this new art was cre­ated just for your business?

Coulson Macleod can do just this. Send us all your rel­ev­ant words. Use ones that pro­mote what your com­pany does, after all it will be read by all your wait­ing cus­tom­ers or cli­ents. And we turn those words into a cool piece of per­son­al­ised typo­graphic art.

What words would you use?

This is a bespoke typo­graphic can­vas print that Coulson Macleod cre­ated for a new beauty salon/clinic called Beauty Defined.

Your Coulson Macleod can­vas typo­graphic art print would be of museum qual­ity. Each print is hand-mounted and fin­ished with the finest mater­i­als by expert local craftsmen.

Your canvas-mounted print would be pro­duced using the very latest giclée print tech­no­logy. Heavy­weight 450gsm, 100% cot­ton, Bril­liance Chro­mata White premium fine art matte can­vas is used to ensure col­our repro­duc­tion and longev­ity are at their abso­lute max­imum. This can­vas is optical bright­ener agent free (optical bright­ener causes yel­low­ing over time) and has passed the Blue Wool stand­ards test for light fast­ness (up to 75 years) and is one of only a few canvases to achieve this.

Your can­vas art­work is hand-sprayed with five coats of Glam­our II Giclée Matt Var­nish to ensure max­imum pro­tec­tion and a smooth con­sist­ent fin­ish. This is a non-yellowing, water-based var­nish that enhances the col­our of pig­men­ted and ultra­chrome inks on matte media and increases res­ist­ance to image fad­ing. It also pro­tects images against mois­ture and abra­sion. The com­bin­a­tion of Glam­our II Matt Var­nish with Bril­liance Chro­mata White can­vas deliv­ers the most archival and colour-stable fine art repro­duc­tion available.

Caring For Your Coulson Macleod Canvas

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Coulson Macleod canvases are prin­ted using pig­men­ted inks that are UV stable and sealed with UV pro­tect­ing var­nish and, if looked after cor­rectly, will last for many years. Typ­ic­ally this can be in excess of 75 to 100 years.

Here are a few sug­ges­tions to help you to look after your canvas.

  • Avoid hand­ling as much as pos­sible to pre­vent scuffs and scratching.
  • Avoid dis­play­ing in dir­ect sun­light. Although UV stable inks and var­nish are used, dir­ect sun­light will reduce the lifespan of your canvas.
  • Avoid dis­play­ing your can­vas in areas of extreme and fluc­tu­at­ing tem­per­at­ures and humidity.
  • Never clean using a damp cloth, solvents, or clean­ing fluids.
  • Should dust settle on your can­vas then remove with a feather duster or use a soft brush to wipe while using a vacuum. Do not let the vacuum nozzle touch the can­vas surface.
  • Avoid con­tact with mois­ture. Should any mois­ture come in con­tact with your can­vas then dab gently with a dry, lint-free, cloth to remove and avoid wip­ing and rubbing.
  • Can­vas is a nat­ural product and will stretch over time. Your can­vas will be framed onto high-quality double-laminated kiln-dried stretcher bars. Should your can­vas appear to sag, these enable you to re-tension your can­vas by care­fully tap­ping the wedges.
