Inkjet Prints – canvas prints produced on the Kodakl Encad using dye inks are not designed for long term display. The manufacturers suggest a life of two years without fading or colour change but this is subject to storage and/or display conditions. Liquid laminate can be applied to the canvas after printing and this will significantly inhibit the effect of uV rays. The Bulldog ultra laminate used by VIL is specifically designed for Inkjet canvas and is manufactured to optically block over 93% of uV light. It also has the advantages of being waterproof, abrasion resistant and flexible. VIL accepts no responsibility for changes in the image after delivery, as they have no control over display and storage conditions. VIL does offer alternative inkjet print services that guarantee print longevity and durability under correct storage and display conditions – see VIL for details. VIL will not be liable for any failure to perform any contract between VIL and the Client which is due to any circumstances beyond VIL’s control including (but not limited to): inability to secure labour, materials, supplies or transport, or scarcity of fuel, power or components (including computer software and hardware), or machine breakdown (including computer, server, ISP network), theft, vandalism, fire, storm, flood, act of God, war, civil disturbance, strikes, lock-outs, or industrial action (of any form).
