From the website, since they can word it better than I can:
All of the posters are available for purchase on heavyweight semi-gloss paper, premium heavyweight high-gloss canvas, or premium heavyweight matte canvas.
Heavyweight Semi-Gloss Paper and Dye-Based Inks
This poster paper is a substantial, very white printing material which we imprint with dye-based inks to create vibrant art and photo reproductions of our members' contributions. The inks produce brilliant images. The paper is heavyweight and suitable for framing.
Premium Heavyweight High-Gloss Canvas and Archival Inks
This canvas is a heavily-textured, natural-colored high-gloss printing material which we imprint with archival, pigmented inks to create the finest quality, and longest-lasting, art and photo reproductions of our members' contributions. The inks are UV-resistant and produce very long-lasting, brilliant, and well-saturated images while the canvas appropriately displays the texture, color, and three dimensional depth of the artist's vision. The canvas is mountable and most suitable for framing thereby creating a vibrant and lasting work of art that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
Premium Heavyweight Matte Canvas and Archival Inks
This canvas is a lightly-textured, white-colored matte printing material which we imprint with archival, pigmented inks to create the finest quality, and longest-lasting, art and photo reproductions of our members' contributions. The inks are UV-resistant and produce very long-lasting, brilliant, and well-saturated images while the canvas appropriately displays the texture, color, and three dimensional depth of the artist's vision. The canvas is mountable and most suitable for framing thereby creating a vibrant and lasting work of art that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why should I choose canvas?
A: The primary reason should be that you want the image to be archival (100+ years of fade resistance when displayed indoors). Also, canvas seems to add a certain "substance" to the photo or work of art that heavyweight paper simply cannot.
Q: Which canvas should I choose?
A: It is a matter of personal preference...and, may depend on the kind of image you want and the effect you are trying to accomplish. The high-gloss is very heavyweight, highly-textured, and highlights the image differently depending on lighting. It makes the image reminiscent of a painting. The matte is medium heavyweight, subtly textured, and displays the image consistently irrespective of lighting. It is a good choice for all images, but expecially appropriate for those where a textured surface is not desired.
Q: Which canvas is more expensive?
A: Neither. They are both top quality and the same price.
Zazzle handles all the order taking and shipping; some of the original art (the fused glass masks) are for sale through me. Just ask about prices.
