The process of removing a printed image from paper and securing it onto canvas began decades ago. These "canvas transfer" process gained popularity and momentum in the late 70s on through to the early 90s. The acrylic gel coating used on the canvas was generally an inferior product that yellowed, causing the image to fade. Jet printers infused the industry in the mid 90s. It produced a clean, clean reproduction onto canvas that phased-out the transfer process. UV coating became a standard in jet printing, thus preserving dyes and pigments from fading.
Z-gel, and other acrylic gels, can be rolled or brushed onto mounted paper prints. The "Z-effect" replaces glass, doesn't glare, and has a UV barrier that saves the print dyes from fading. ARTe has enjoyed the "Z-effect" for over 15 years, producing great results similar to an "original art" look at a very reasonable cost for clients. It's a must see at ARTe Gallery.
