I currently print on matte poly canvas and then apply a lacquer spray to enhance the colours.
I am looking for recommendations of a gloss canvas product available in the UK to replace my method.
I have found a couple of places charging over £100 for a short 18M roll of 24" wide canvas, but this it far too expensive. I am not printing off the odd print for an exhibition, I am an Amazon seller and ship 30+ 20"x16" prints per day so cost is critical. I currently pay £39 inc VAT for a 30 metre roll of 280 GSM, which I am very happy with but I need a gloss equivalent.
Thanks in advance.

I tend to avoid most gloss canvasses because I don't like the reflections, but the two best semi-gloss type canvasses I've found are Canson Museum ProCanvas Luster:

and Breathing Color's 17M which I like even better as it has the color depth of a PK canvas but has less reflection than the Canson and doesn't need to be coated:

not sure if you can get it in the UK though.
But neither of these canvasses are inexpensive.
