CANVASSED SELF HEALING BULLETIN BOARD

摘要

The present invention generally relates to a custom canvassed bulletin board having a vinyl primed osnaburg canvass, solvent based inks, adhesives, cork, and a substrate. Solvent based inks printed into the vinyl linen weave gives the printed image the protection afforded by the vinyl, the appearance of fine art due to the linen texture of the canvass, and an enhanced elasticity created between the elastic properties of the solvent based ink and the vinyl-linen canvass. The bulletin board can be a message board or be used as fine art in one's home or office.
