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.

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.
