Title: Which one is better
Post by: jnaviles on January 04, 2010, 08:47:50 pm

I need to buy some more canvas. Right now I'm using 901wr, but I'm thinking of trying the breathing color Lyve. Has anyone here tried them both? Which one did you like more?

Thanks

Have pretty much tried them all and are using Lexjets Matte the most. Second is lexjet's Instant Dry and are still using a little of the Epson Matte.  All Matte canvas as we can bring the sheen up with Glamor II.
All the satin canvases are way too shiny. Lyve was a good canvas but you just cannot beat the Lexjet for less then a dollar a square foot. (.90) Of course YOMV.

Fredrix's newest canvas; 777 is definitely worth checking out.

Thanks for the full disclosure. That makes sense.
