Might be worth getting a trial roll, then, and shining a UV lamp on it to see if it lights up. If it doesn't, then maybe follow it up with a window test against a sample of Lyve or other canvas/paper with known lightfastness, printed on the same printer, and seeing which one lasts longer.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my earlier remarks. The "explosionfocolors" fabrics that were sent to me were claimed to have no OBA. UV-included versus UV excluded spectrophotometer readings confirmed high fluorescence in the base and in the "infused coating". UV backlight examination also confirmed high levels of fluorescence, so plenty of OBAs in the products. I followed up through my contacts to see if any OBA-free samples could be supplied. The manufacturer did not respond. End of story, and end of my interest in evaluating that product. Kernewek St. Ives, in contrast, has no fluorescence in the substrate nor in the infused coating. It's a great product. I haven't had a seed problem, but I don't print on canvas much, so I haven't run through dozens of rolls, only a few. One roll had some wrinkles on one edge from a poor wind at the factory, but it didn't cause a printing issue, and the wrinkles came out nicely upon stretching. Some fraying at the roll edges compared to other canvas media, but that issue has not turned into problem, either. Only thing I can really fault St. Ives and the other Kernewek fabrics for is relatively poor dmax (L*min ~ 22-25 depending on ink set), but that's seems to be a common attribute with many coated matte canvas offerings these days. Anyway, with a good ICC profile and the right image, I can make very lovely prints on St. Ives, and I've seen no canvas surface texture I like better, not BC Chromata white, not BC Lyve, not Hahnemuhle Daguerre (which BTW has OBAs), not Lexjet's sunset canvas or canvas matte by Frederix, etc., etc.
best,
Mark
