print canvas
Hi All
When buying canvas to print on what do you look for in regards to quality?
And can any one tell me what GSM stands for?
Thanks for any help

I look for "will it last / be vibrant" primarily…cost is often the secondary issue.
Look out for ‘whiteness’, ‘gsm’ (Grams per Square Metre)* and how well it accepts solvent ink (& does supplier have a ready made profile). Even some high end brands don’t stand up too well to scuffing & bleeding, so get samples when you can.
*gsm – eg. copier paper (80 gsm), light banner (350gsm), medium banner (450), super heavy (750)

He means a profile for your printer.
Graham in Australia our main two canvas options I’ve seen is the Fredrix and the Sihl. I started with the Sihl but I’ve moved over to the Fredrix. I still use Viponds digiclear to boost the colours.
Hope that helps.
