Advanced Canvas Technology Group

The ACT (Advanced Canvas Technology Group) of Worthen Industries, formed in 2003, creates coated canvas products for an array of art reproduction methods as well as fine artist canvas.

Coated canvas products specifically designed for offset lithography, ink jet (giclee), serigraphy, dye transfer, and photographic adhesive reproduction.

Before we began this business, we approached the leaders in the different art fields and designed products to their specifications. Through working together with these experts, we developed superior products tailored to the different market needs. Now we offer coated canvas products specifically designed for offset lithography, ink jet (giclee), serigraphy, dye transfer, and photographic adhesive reproduction.

Key Characteristics of LithoTek®
  • Superior dot gain control
  • Finer color control
  • Registration – holds even on Mega-Prints up to 54x70 inches
  • No pre-press conditioning needed
  • Fewer sheets required for make ready

Our mantra at the ACT Group is to provide consistent quality products made with American raw materials. We specify yarn type and size, weave pattern, and even the type of loom our suppliers must use for our canvas fabrics. We offer canvases constructed of synthetic polyester, natural cotton, and blends of the two. We developed coatings that allow our customers to capture the minutest detail of the reproductions and we quality control our products in every step of the process from raw fiber to finished coated canvas. The ACT Group provides pre-press details and technical assistance to printers and we continue to search for products to make printing canvas as effortless as possible.

LithoTek®, our newest art reproduction canvas, took four years to develop and offers the art reproduction market a technologically advanced product that out prints other canvases.

In an exciting development, the ACT Group recently introduced high-end artist canvas made of superior quality fabric with a specially formulated coating that produces a whiter, cleaner, more flexible canvas. This canvas is not only easier to stretch but also the coating does not crack during the process.

From fine art to home décor, from small to mega sizes, we have a canvas technology for your artwork. Our role in the art market continues to grow because of the quality of our products and the way we meet the needs of each group in the art world. We would like to hear from you.
