Satin Canvas has a slight sheen to its surface, making it subtle and soft. It is a preference for those who prefer images with a less contrasty appearance. I like satin over glossy because it has a more artsy look and feel.
MUSEUM QUALITY CANVAS PRINT
Canvas: We use Urth canvas, the world’s first solvent canvas with archival certification by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Manufactured by the leading canvas supplier of award-winning digital inkjet canvas, Breathing Color® uses breakthrough technology of agent-free Fluorescent Whitening and Chromata white to create a canvas free of optical brighteners while still producing canvas prints with bright whites and true vivid colors that will not fade or yellow over time. With OBA-free Urth canvas, your print can hang in direct sunlight and remain fade-resistant and as beautiful as the day it was printed. The canvas has a built-in coating, which makes it moisture and abrasion-resistant, with UV protection. The canvas is durable enough to withstand cleaning by taking a damp cloth to the surface to remove dust.
Inks: We use UltraChrome GS3 HD inks, which have a wide & rich color gamut range. The inks are sprayed upon canvas, hence the “giclee application,” with extreme detail and vibrancy, thus creating a stunningly sharp image. Tested by Wilhelm Research, these lightfast, archival inks are designed to last 100+ years.
Wood: The wood used to create the stretcher bars for your print is made from poplar trees, which are extremely strong and stable.

Source Material
The wisdom, after passing from lip to ear for several thousand years before fictitiously being originally written as "The Kybalion," then lost over the centuries, "The Kybalion" was essentially rewritten in 1908 by an American new-thought and occultist author named William Walker Atkinson, penned as Three Initiates. The principles described are attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, the mythical reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian god Thoth, venerated as three times greater than the Greek god Hermes, contemporary of Abraham, founder of astrology, and discoverer of alchemy (the psychological art of turning thoughts and emotions into spiritual gold).
Just as the word "occult" accurately means hidden, referring to esoteric spiritual knowledge, so to does the word "hermetic" mean hidden, referring to the protective containment of such higher wisdom from persecution, abuse, and dogma. "The lips of wisdom are closed except to the ears of understanding." Likewise, "When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom" The Kybalion. These principles are the master keys to unlocking the Universe's secrets and many occult teachings.
These principles were first written down by the scribes of Alexander when the Greeks conquered Egypt in 332 BCE. Over a thousand years later, those writings resurfaced in the late Medieval and early Renaissance periods throughout Europe and the Middle East. They became the source material of gnostic works called "The Corpus Hermeticum" and "The Emerald Tablet of Hermes, " which, though more poetically abstract, were said to have inspired the creation of "The Kybalion."
4- The Principle of Polarity
Everything is Dual. Everything has its Poles and its Pair of Opposites.
- The illusion of duality is that it's two halves of a whole; unity.
- Opposites are identical in nature but different in degree.
- All extremes meet, and all paradoxes may be reconciled.
- The Ultimate Force is Love; Love is The All of Love and Fear, Light and Dark, Good and Evil.
- Fear is the illusion created by the dualistic separation within the ego of the human mind.
- While the friction of Good (what expands Consciousness) vs. Evil (what restricts Consciousness) is necessary for new growth and development, the more we each choose to shine a light on the dark, the better outcomes we will each experience.
- The quality of circumstances one experiences derive from their perspective of "good" and "bad" about them and their acceptance or denial of them; neither would exist without the other.
