Why do Printshops Trust Our Print Canvas?

Grounded in a commitment to quality

Before we at FREDRIX designed today’s premier printable canvas, we first perfected the artist canvas. The goal of our founder, E.H. Fredrichs, was to produce an American-made artist canvas to rival the Old World standards enjoyed by the painting masters of Europe.

The effort was successful, and the FREDRIX brand has led the word in consistency, reliability, and durability ever since. Around the world, artists continue to rely on the FREDRIX Artist canvas for their creative works because the quality envisioned by E.H. Fredrichs continues to this day.

Artists demand unquestionable quality when selecting their canvases. That’s why FREDRIX Artist canvas has been the choice of artists worldwide for 150+ years. Today, we pour this excellence into our print canvas so our customers can rely on our quality for consistent results every time.

Innovation and new product development

At the time of our founding in 1868, digital printers were beyond imagination. However, through the years, FREDRIX has always provided innovation and direction for the industry. Once digital printers became a reality, FREDRIX naturally stepped into a leadership role in developing new products to meet the rising demand in a growing market.

In 1995, we completed our research and design process to launch our very first printable canvas products. In order for our laboratory and production teams to have confidence in these new materials, they must have first met our rigorous standards for all our canvases:

● Consistent, first quality production runs every time. In other words, the first print looks like the last print
● Flawless canvas texture to provide a reliable surface for exceptional image quality, and
● Perfected coatings to achieve longevity and archival quality that our customers trust with their time and investment.

The challenge of print canvas

In many ways, printing on canvas demands higher standards because of the technology involved — the machines used by our print customers don’t examine the canvas as artists do before they begin a new project, so we at FREDRIX must eliminate any imperfections that would cause flawed results.

A quality process yields quality results

That’s why our skilled professionals labor every day to ensure these measures of quality are met in every square inch of printable canvas that FREDRIX produces. We start by selecting the finest textiles from U.S. sources. Our exclusive coating process is then applied under careful scrutiny as each individual canvas roll is prepared for each customer. If any flaw in weave or surface is uncovered, or if any of our standards cannot be applied to a portion of any canvas roll, we immediately designate that roll as lacking the required FREDRIX quality.

The result of our uncompromising process is world-class textile quality that customers can rely on every time. Whether print canvas or artist canvas, your livelihood depends on the integrity of the surface you choose. We remain committed to the original vision of our founder and pledge that our FREDRIX label will provide you with the consistency and reliability required for success, image after image.
