Every artist dreams to have an easy access to quality art supplies, framing and printing services, as well as the option to be closely working hand by hand with people who can assure them in fast and detailed aid, in moments of creative despair. And what are the odds to be able to find all of those helpful perks in one consecutive organization?
Ever since the desire to help in providing professional assistance to art and photography artists and enthusiasts raised in the founder of KeenART Media, a once naïve dream became a reality.
This year strikes a 20 year anniversary since the start of the company! To go back to the roots of the story it is important to acknowledge that the first successful steps were focused on arranging new at the time printing services, which we still offer in a variety of different sub-genres and would like to introduce them to lucky internet browsers and hopefully inspire them to get on this intriguing and creative path.
Canvas prints are a very fun and affordable way to capture your artwork or photograph. Many of our clients choose such service for their selling purposes, art exhibit performances, as well as people who simply wish to decorate their workplace or home with a print of a meaningful memory or want to surprise their loved ones by giving them an opportunity to relive an important milestone that is captured on the print. Due to such sentimental and professional requests we carefully execute all stages of production and use only high quality materials and technology.
For Canvas prints alone, we are working with ClearShield Type C Coating as a protective finish, which is formulated to be used over water-resistant canvas printed with pigmented inks. The printing technology itself is an inkjet printer that primarily is used for canvas prints and assures in keeping its natural texture, depth and brilliance that allows the light to reflect on the final work, giving you an option of a frameless result!
*We offer canvas rolled prints and 5 different depth gallery wrapped canvases.
Our maximum print width is 64"; there is no limit on print length up to 150.”*
What is gallery wrap?
Once you have settled on your decisions to purchase a canvas print, we also offer a service of wrapping the printed canvas onto a custom-made wooden stretcher bar frame (also known as Gallery wrap) and stapled at the back, attaching the canvas to a frame, in order to assure the finished product with a modern and neat look.
*Fine Art quality Printing using Epson Inkjet printers & UltraChrome K3 inks*
Using the latest in imaging and print technology, we create stunning fine art prints that are hard to distinguish from the originals. The key to a high quality fine art print is in “fine paper” which is a high quality material that distinguishes itself from any wood-containing paper and allows light constancy and resistance to aging.
*Framed Prints - once you are satisfied with the final result, don’t forget that we can provide our framing services in order to give your print a finished appearance and get it ready to be hung on your wall!*
Dye-sublimation is a modern method of printing on several different materials, such as ceramic, wood, acrylic blocks, metal, and fabric. That is the only printing method that uses organic dyes which support the quality of the image, as well as helps in sustaining vibrant colors throughout and ensures that the design will last longer. It also creates a glossy effect on the material and the heat transfer defuses chances of quick damage and increases the protection of the final product.
Applying the method of dye-sublimation on ceramic tableware turns a boring and plain mug into a fancy, unique and colorful accessory for your home.
Perks of Coffee Mug Prints:
Permanent and durable (your image will not disappear in a long run)
Dishwasher and microwave safe (layer of protection will secure a print from water and heat damage
Scratch resistant (no need to worry about minor scrapes while caring a mug in your bag or purse)
Dye-Sublimation is also known for resting beautiful prints on fabric, and what are the best way to show off a high-resolution photograph of an “inside joke,” favorite memory or even a logo of your company if not in a form of a casual wear that will be a part of your daily outfit or special occasion? Our T-shirts are 100% polyester jersey knit with cotton feel and come in sizes from Small (S) to 3XL. No need to worry about the durability of the print, as with the heat press that will transfer your print and ensures to last up to 10 years without fading away.
For over 2 years the world had been preoccupied with fear, panic and distress. But no one said that even in such uneasy times you can’t look and feel pretty! KeenART Media cares about your protection and offers fun and unique replacement to ordinary medical masks. Our masks use polyester on both sides and the cotton layer in the middle to ensure best filtration and easy breathiness.
They come in 3 different sizes:
Small (S) - 6" x 4" - Child
Medium (M) - 6" x 5"
Large (L) - 8" x 5 1/2"
Another option for your dye-sublimated piece would be metal and wood prints. If you are wondering which option would benefit your work best, we offer you to look at the difference between metal and wood prints in order to help you with this decision making process.
What do you need to know about Metal prints?
The material in which your print will be manufactured is aluminum that comes in rectangular or round shapes. Metal Prints are commonly used by modern-art enthusiasts, as sharp edges and unique surfaces of the print adds inventive style to a final product as well as enhances photographic highlights and accents on any image, due to its finish.
Our metal prints are available only in standard sizes.
Pick from two different finishes:
Gloss White for a true-to-color, vibrant image or
Gloss Brushed/Silver to allow the metal to show through any lighter areas of your image.
One out of many perks of going forward with metal prints is its frameless appearance and full freedom to expose the entire image, without hiding bits of it behind the frame. However, it is important to acknowledge that in order to display your print, you will have to ensure the safest and most efficient way of doing so, which is why we offer 3 display options:
Table Easel ( Attach to back of panel to stand on table. For either horizontal or vertical display and Only for use with small photo panels.) (A)
Float Mount Hangers ( perfect for medium size panels) (B)
3/4" Inset Frame ( Inset Frames are recessed from the edges of the print, so the print appears to float away from the wall when hung.) (C)
What do you need to know about Wood Prints?
Wood prints have the same idea and process of projecting the print onto a hard surface, however will add a slightly different “feel” to your final product. Many choose to go with the wooden texture in order to keep a warm and old-fashioned style, which is perfectly suitable for family photographs and pictures that narrate a correlation with nature, and outdoors.
These are made with a maple veneer with a low gloss coating and have pre-drilled keyholes on the back that make them ready to hang out of the box!
Despite the different approach to the same print, metal and wood prints share the same values and benefits such as:
Frameless appearance
Permanent and durable
No glass to break or produce a glare
Easy to clean, with only a soft cloth and glass cleaner
Scratch resistant
“A small tabletop display with a big impact!”
Acrylic Blocks are one of the most exclusive and fascinating products that we offer. Imagine placing your favorite memory or a meaningful art piece into a glass-like rectangular prism which creates a secluded environment for the print to reflect light and appear almost as a captivated piece, hiding its beauty behind the acrylic material. Oh, and did we mention that your finished product is guaranteed to last up to 75 years? Crazy!
An additional Information about Acrylic Blocks:
Sizes: 4x4", 4x6", 5x7", 6x6" and 6x9"
Thickness: 1" with hand polished crystal clear edges
Media Print: Glossy finish Epson papers using archival inks
Backing: Rear prints are protected with 1mm thick backing.
Display: Free-standing ready to display
Another fun way to print and display your artwork goes by the definition of Plaque Mounting. Essentially, all you have to do is print a picture you wish to work with and choose a surface in which the picture is desired to be mounted onto. Once your image has been printed, it will be "dry mounted" to the MDF board you selected. The process of dry mounting “sandwiches” your print, adhesive tissue, MDF board and a clear protective laminate which ensures a beautiful piece that radiates vibrant colors and flawless reproduction of your digital image.
You may choose a board out of:
STANDARD/FLAT MOUNT
BOX/FLUSH MOUNT
RAISED MOUNT
FLOAT MOUNT
MATTED PLAQUE
