Breathing Color 800M Canvas for Giclée Prints
This 44-inch wide roll delivers 40 feet of 21 mil, 405 gsm poly-cotton canvas built for aqueous inkjet printers. The matte surface reduces glare while supporting a wide colour gamut and deep DMAX for fine-art reproduction. Optical brightener additives create an extraordinary white point that lifts print vibrancy. It suits photographers, artists and sign makers producing wall art, backdrops or indoor murals.
Aqueous Inkjet Limits and Handling
The canvas is engineered only for aqueous inkjet systems; solvent, latex or UV curable inks are not supported by the manufacturer. Rolls must be stored flat or on a core to prevent edge curl that can cause head strikes. High humidity or dust can affect ink adhesion and drying consistency. Varnishing with Timeless Gloss, Satin or Matte is required for maximum water resistance and crack-free stretching.
Installation Notes and Common Issues
Load the 44-inch roll on a printer equipped with a compatible take-up spindle and set media thickness to the 21 mil profile. Incorrect platen gap settings often cause banding or head rub on the heavy surface. Allow prints to dry fully before applying varnish to avoid trapped moisture and clouding. Stretching unvarnished canvas frequently leads to cracking at the corners.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 44in x 40ft roll or a smaller size?
The roll measures 44 inches wide by 40 feet long, providing a large continuous surface for murals, backdrops or multiple prints without seams.
What does the 405 gsm weight mean for handling and output?
At 405 gsm and 21 mil thick, the canvas feels substantial, resists curling and holds heavy ink loads without cockling, yet still feeds through compatible wide-format printers.
Which ink standard does the 800M canvas support and what does that limit?
It is engineered for aqueous inkjet printers, so it works with dye and pigment water-based inks but is not compatible with solvent, latex or UV-curable systems.
