What is the canvas?

THE CANVAS, WHAT IS IT? 

The canvas is a medium that can be composed of 100% cotton of different weights — for example, at Giulia Schiaparelli, prints are made on 320-gram cotton — or a blend of polyester and cotton. The canvas fabric allows optimal adhesion of color pigments for a brilliant result on a durable medium. The polyester and cotton canvas gives slightly more vibrant colors during printing, while 100% cotton ensures a more resistant medium.
