Collection: Fine Art Canvas Paper for Professional Prints

Canvas paper is a coated, textured medium that mimics the tactile weave of fabric canvas while maintaining the flexibility and convenience of a printable sheet or roll. Unlike plain photo paper, it offers a painterly matte or semi-gloss finish with minimal glare, bringing warmth and depth to artwork, portraits, and photographic prints. The canvas line bridges the gap between fine art texture and professional print performance, producing richly detailed, durable images that resist moisture and abrasion.

Canvas Paper vs. Canvas Prints and Photo Paper

• Canvas Paper vs. Canvas Prints:
  Traditional canvas prints are produced on woven fabric (usually polyester or poly-cotton) that’s printed and then stretched over a frame. Canvas Paper delivers the same authentic texture and tonal depth, but as a sheet or roll that can be framed flat or mounted, reducing production time and cost.
• Canvas Paper vs. Photo Paper:
  Photo papers (glossy, luster, or baryta) emphasize maximum sharpness and deep blacks but often reflect light. The Solfit self-adhesive vinyl or glossy canvas trades some of that sharpness for low-glare depth, tactile texture, and color richness that flatter fine art and portrait work under varied lighting conditions.

Printer Compatibility and Use

Canvas Paper is generally optimized for inkjet printers using dye or pigment inks. Its fast-drying microporous coating locks in color for outstanding tonal range and sharpness, like our Accent opaque laser paper. Because it’s thicker than standard photo media, use your printer’s straight or rear feed path and thick paper setting to prevent head strikes. For large-format printers, rolls allow seamless panoramic or gallery output.
