Arius x Canon: Redefining the Surface of Fine Art

Learn more about our exclusive partnership with Canon, combining world-leading digital imaging with elevated printing technology to bring texture and relief to museum-quality reproductions and original contemporary print series.

The Collaboration

Perfectly Elevating the Printed Reproduction

In partnership with Canon, a global leader in digital imaging solutions, Arius provides elevated printing services that offer significantly higher relief than previously available in the art market. This collaboration is a cornerstone for museum partnerships, allowing institutions to transform their Art Digital Master File (ADMF™) data into physical, textured reproductions.

These highly accurate reproductions serve a dual purpose:

  • Universal Accessibility: They allow museums to share their collections with audiences outside of their day-to-day visitors, from remote communities to the visually impaired, thanks to touchable, high-fidelity art. Be inspired by our collaboration with the National Audubon Society.
  • Revenue Innovation: By creating licensed, museum-grade textured editions, institutions can generate sustainable royalties that fund future conservation and outreach programs, while offering a luxury souvenir that visitors and art enthusiasts can admire at home.

Realizing the Elegraph™ Print Series: Contemporary Creation

Our unique partnership with Canon also empowers contemporary artists, photographers, digital-native artists, and AI-iterative creators to realize their works with fine art colour and texture. Working with our alta™ Creative studio, traditional and digital artists collaborate with our experts to bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds.

Through the Elegraph™ printmaking process, artists can add texture to previously flat mediums or digitally modify the elevation of a physical source. This enables the creation of original print series where the topography is as much a part of the artist's intent as the colour.

About Canon

Canon is a world-leading innovator in digital imaging and industrial printing solutions. Their Arizona flatbed printers redefine the possibilities of the printed medium by using a layered ink process to create a dynamic tactile experience. This sophisticated technology allows for the build-up of ink in multiple passes, enabling the creation of elevated surfaces that mimic the natural topography of a canvas or the intentional texture of a digital file.

By integrating our Art Digital Master File (ADMF™) data with Canon's precision hardware, we are able to produce elevations that were previously impossible to achieve in the fine art market. Canon's commitment to colour accuracy and mechanical innovation makes them the ideal partner for Arius in our mission to protect, preserve, and celebrate the world's cultural heritage through the most advanced elevated printing services available today.

“Our long-standing partnership with Canon is about pushing the boundaries of art and technology, expanding the reach of the museum and elevating the creative medium of printing for artists. By combining our topographical data and digital imaging expertise, with Canon’s world-class printing technology, we have moved beyond the 'flat' world of traditional printing. We are providing the tools to create physical works that possess the same depth, soul, and tactile presence as an original painting. This truly is the next frontier of art production.”
