A view of the Fredrix Print Canvas booth at the Oct. 2012 SGIA show in Las Vegas. HP Latex Technology was featured this year showcasing the partnership between HP and Fredrix to develop canvas products that are tailored for use with HP Latex Technology.
Our Fredrix® Select canvas, (901 Solvent Jet) was used to print 3300 square meters of murals for the Temple shown above in Thailand. The leaves above the Buddha and all images along the windows were printed on Fredrix Select. Click HERE to download the specification sheet.
Fredrix® Print Canvas has continued its partnership with world-renowned environmental artist Wyland by unveiling a monumental work of art for Earth Day inspired by DisneyNature’s landmark first film, “Earth”. The 4,000-square-foot image was revealed at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, California on April 18th 2009 for the film’s U.S. domestic premier. The100-foot long image printed on Fredrix® wide format mural canvas was created by Fredrix® Print Canvas and Astek Wallcovering Inc. The printed mural was incorporated into the design of the theater interior allowing filmgoers an opportunity for the first time ever to walk through a Wyland work of art.
In keeping with the “green” elements of this project, Astek Wall Coverings printed the image on Fredrix® mural canvas with the new eco-friendly Durst 320 UV Curable printer using soy based inks that are 100% VOC free. The image, entitled “Earth: the Blue Planet” was created originally by Wyland as a 4’ x 7’ oil painting and depicts two humpback whales to represent the fragile balance that supports the cycle of life on Earth.
Wyland has been painting on Fredrix® artist canvas for many years and it was his first choice to select wide format canvas from the digital media arm of Fredrix® for this project. “Fredrix® Print Canvas was chosen for its consistent quality and its ability to display the bold colors which best represented the original” states Wyland.
