There are a lot of choices when it comes to products for my clients. I generally sell canvas or framed fine art wall portraits, as well as archival custom photo albums, and have shopped a number of products to find the very best in quality for my clients. In a canvas printer I am looking for, above all, extremely high image quality--sharp image and accurate color tones. I am very actively involved in assuring my colors and tones are accurate by using the X-rite "Passport" color checker when I am shooting and editing and a Spyder to calibrate my monitor. I double-check compatibility with each of the vendors that I work with to make sure I will get consistent, accurate color in my products. For those of you unfamiliar with how this works, what I am talking about is making sure that the color and brightness settings on my monitor are set to look like what I will get from my print labs so that I don't get skin tones that are too orange, green, dark, bright, etc. Secondly I am looking for solid, archival construction. I want my canvas wrapped around wood with quality hanging hardware and bumpers. NO CARDBOARD. Just no. I was using a canvas printer that I liked very much for a few years when I suddenly started having color issues back in October 2013. I had been hearing so much about Artsy Couture, and their prices were less than my printer at the time, so I tried them out. What I received from them was what appeared to be a well constructed, solid canvas, but the colors were way off--super orange. Their customer service was amazing--friendly & prompt--and they sent out a new canvas that was better but still not the color & sharpness I am seeing from the pro labs I usually work with. I ended up taking a loss on that order and paying to have my client's order printed at another lab (the one I am currently using). I went to the Artsy booth at Imaging USA earlier this week and was very impressed with the quality of their products, their cute booth, and their friendly staff. I was told that they were having short-lived color issues at the time of my order and that I should try again. I was also told that the canvases are stretched around wood, which really surprised me because I figured it was some sort of super rigid cardboard given they cost a small fraction of the pro lab canvas wraps. Upon returning home I decided to dig up that old canvas--the one I received with color issues, and deconstruct it! Here is what I found... My overall recommendation is that Artsy "Couture Canvas" is a good option for budget photographers or for consumers who are not willing to pay literally 3x the price at a pro lab. I do intend to give them another…
