Choosing the Right Surface

Each print surface offers its own strengths:

• Metal for the most vivid, contemporary presentation, with glossy or matte finishes.
• Canvas for classic look and value in larger pieces, always matte.
• Paper for flexibility and accessibility in smaller sizes, with a matte/luster surface.
