HP Professional Matte Canvas
Capture gallery-grade artistry with every print. HP Professional Matte Canvas is designed to deliver museum-quality, matte-finish reproductions that look spectacular from the first print to the hundredth. This canvas media is engineered for consistent base performance and a broad color gamut, with a particular emphasis on reds, so your most dynamic artworks and photographs come alive with true-to-life detail, rich tonal transitions, and archival longevity. When you aim to show your work at its best, this canvas helps you reduce waste and standardize results across print runs, enabling you to produce exquisite, repeatable outcomes print after print.
- Museum-quality matte finish delivers subtle textures and a non-gloss surface that minimizes reflections, making prints ideal for viewing under gallery lighting. The matte coating minimizes glare while preserving sharp edge definition and fine detail, so portraits, landscapes, and artwork maintain their character and depth in any viewing environment.
- Less scrap, more consistency engineered with a stable base that mitigates warping and variations between sheets. This means fewer failed prints and less material waste, helping studios and printers streamline production and achieve uniform results across batches, runs, and exhibitions.
- Broader color gamut with enhanced reds supports rich color reproduction and smooth gradations, giving you the ability to reproduce subtle skin tones, vibrant skies, and bold color stories with confidence. The expanded color capabilities enable deeper blacks, brighter highlights, and more lifelike textures, making artwork and photography pop with cinematic clarity.
- Professional-grade compatibility designed to work seamlessly with HP wide-format printers and HP pigment inks. The canvas media is optimized for the demands of professional workflows, including color-managed proofing, gallery submissions, and archival-quality display reproductions.
- Display-ready performance for framing and mounting the canvas is engineered for easy handling, precise edge alignment, and stable dimensional integrity. It’s well-suited for gallery wraps, frames, and custom mounting, helping your prints maintain their intended presentation with minimal curling or edge distortion.

How to install HP Professional Matte Canvas
- Prepare your printer by confirming media compatibility and loading the canvas as specified by the printer’s user guide. Ensure you’re using the correct roller settings and edge guiding to prevent skew during feeding.
- Load the canvas with clean edges and align it to the feed path, following the printer’s instructions for canvas media. Calibrate the feeders if necessary to minimize edge curl and ensure smooth transportation through the print engine.
- In your print workflow, select the Matte Canvas media type and choose the highest quality print mode available. If you use color management, ensure the profile matches the canvas to preserve accurate color reproduction, especially for reds and skin tones.
- Run a nozzle check and alignment before producing production prints. This step helps ensure ink deposition is even and that the canvas surface receives ink consistently across the print.
- Print a test image to confirm color accuracy, contrast, and tonal balance. Review the print under appropriate lighting to verify that the matte surface delivers the desired texture and that highlights and shadows render correctly.
- After printing, allow sufficient curing time in a dust-free environment. Handle prints by the edges to avoid surface smudges, then proceed with mounting or framing as needed for your display or client submission.
