LONG BEACH, Calif., March 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson America today expanded its portfolio of solvent media with the new Epson^® GS Canvas Production Satin. Designed to meet the needs of high volume production applications achieved with Epson SureColor^® S-Series solvent printers, GS Canvas Production Satin provides art reproduction houses unmatched image quality at production speeds, while delivering superior resolution and saturation with the traditional look and feel of artist canvas. With an expanded gamut for exceptional colors and industry-leading Dmax for deep, dark blacks, Epson GS Canvas Production Satin is an acid free, lignin free heavyweight cotton-polyester blend ideal for a range of photographic and fine art reproductions.

"We listened to our customers and industry experts – fine artists, professional photographers, museums, gallery owners, and fine art reproduction shops – to develop a high quality canvas available at production pricing that meets even the most demanding requirements," said Jeff Smith, product manager, Epson America, Inc. "The resulting product is an elegantly textured canvas with a semi-gloss satin surface, extremely bright white point, and expanded color gamut for photographic- and fine art-quality output, at an affordable price."
