LEXJET PRINT-N-STICK: water-resistant, inkjet-printable fabric with a self-adhesive backing that can be easily repositioned with no residue.  can be applied to a wide range of flat surfaces and does not tear, wrinkle or stretch.  a print and an easy installation method, all in one!  ideal option for murals and large-scale print installations. 6 mil thickness.

notes on environmental responsibility:

I carefully consider the environmental impact of each step of the printing process:

  • INK:  spent ink cartridges are mailed back to Canon USA to be included in their cartridge recycling program. 

  • PAPER:  at this time there are limited options for archival, fine art-quality inkjet papers designed specifically to be environmentally sustainable.  LexJet Archival Matte is Forest Stewardship Council certified (as are other LexJet papers), and the Print-N-Stick fabric is reusable and eliminates the necessity of extra materials for framing and display.

(producing artwork as sustainably as possible is an ongoing project, as new materials and resources evolve; if you have any suggestions or thoughts on the subject, I’d love to hear from you!)
