This product has been compatibility tested and approved for the following printers. If you do not see your printer listed below, it does not mean it is not compatible, but because we cannot list every one of the thousands of compatible printer models. Our aqueous media is compatible with most pigment and dye-based ink systems. If you would like to confirm any unlisted printer is compatible before purchase, please contact support@breathingcolor.com.
Breathing Color strongly recommends checking our ICC Profile Library page to see if we have color management files for your combination of media and printer model. If we are missing an ICC profile, we can advise generic settings and/or work with you to create Custom Profiles.
We recommend letting 17M prints dry for 1-2 hours before mounting or stretching for best results. Note: the dry time may vary depending on factors such as your home temperature, outside climate, and more.
Glossy and satin canvas is more susceptible to curling. This curling is most often caused imperfect atmospheric conditions. Please make sure to remove your roll of canvas from the printer when not being used. Also, be sure to store it inside of the original plastic sleeve and inside of the roll box.
Make sure also to store your print media as close as possible to our recommendations. Storage temperature should be around 70°F (21°C). The relative humidity in your storage room should be about 50%.
To prevent the transfer of oils and dirt from your hands to the coatings on the media, it’s important to take protective measures. White cotton gloves should be worn when handling the media to keep it pristine.
When not using the media, you should store it in its original packaging, exactly how it was shipped to you. Read even more about our recommended handling and storage best practices on our blog.

With our 17M Satin/Gloss, you can enjoy a no varnish canvas without headaches or extra steps.
We put padding around each core. This cushions the inner layers of canvas, which prevents creases and grooves from appearing at the end of roll.
Some other canvas and paper brands do not offer this layer of protection. What ensues is common creasing and grooving on the canvas material.
Our 17M is designed and packed with care. Here's how we do it with our no varnish canvas:
