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.

Coulson Macleod Makes A Noise

Just had some really great close-up shots of our limited edition canvas print ‘American Noise’ — and we think they look fantastic.

Our canvas prints are finished by hand, by experienced local craftsmen. We use a natural (100% cotton), textured canvas, complemented by a chunky (45mm deep) Dutch spruce frame.

Let us know what you think.

Caring For Your Coulson Macleod Canvas

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.
