Breathing Color, Inc. is a leading designer and supplier of award-winning digital inkjet canvas, papers and post-print protective coatings. They are focused on the art and photographic markets with products that lead the industry with colour and longevity.

The Company was founded in January 2003 by a group of industry pioneers who have spent over fifteen years experimenting with wide ranges of colour, substrates, coatings and equipment in order to create a diverse line of industry leading fine art inkjet canvas and papers with proprietary inkjet receptive coatings (IRC). These proprietary IRC's deliver a measurably superior colour gamut, dmax and longevity and are therefore at the heart of what differentiates Breathing Color as a leading inkjet canvas and paper manufacturer.

Breathing Color believe that every product they develop must provide its users with a significant technical and financial advantage. To continually deliver on such a high standard, they have assembled a development team of chemists and engineers that are amongst the brightest minds and most experienced in this entire industry. Individuals within the team are rewarded and promoted based upon creative contributions they make towards the advancement of colour gamut, dmax and longevity during new product development. They believe that this culture has made innovation our most recognized and concrete talent.

A few of their development team's accomplishments are the award-winning Elegance Velvet Platinum Edition and Chromata White Canvas. These breakthrough products have received industry-wide recognition for their leadership in three major competitive categories -- colour, longevity and price. They have become known as the flagship products of the Company.

Breathing Color understand that innovation begins with leadership. The President, Mr. Nick M. Friend was recently honored by the Orange County Business Journal's "Excellence in Entrepreneurship Awards 2007" with his nomination amongst a select group of distinguished entrepreneurs in Orange County, California. The Orange County Business Journal recognized Mr. Friend for his role as founder and President of Breathing Color, inc.

Breathing Color® is truly a one of a kind experience designed to benefit printmaking businesses everywhere in the world and we hope to make you a believer in Love at First Sight™ with your very first print.

The Breathing Color Advantage

Today, inkjet receptive coatings (IRC) designers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) all use an inefficient supply chain of distributors and dealers who market their products for them. In turn, each company in this supply chain (typically there are three) applies their mark up, which drives up the end-user price each time. This explains how inkjet substrates (papers and ink) have come to be as expensive as they are. Breathing Color was founded because we believe that a significant opportunity exists to design and manufacture industry leading inkjet canvas and papers, while at the same time market them ourselves directly to end users. In doing so, we will have the unique ability to offer unrivaled competitive pricing, knowledge, support, and flexibility with our customers. We want to have a direct dialogue with our customers because we view it as an opportunity to learn and make improvements. At Breathing Color, we believe that our first responsibility is to the artists, publishers, printmakers, galleries, and frame shops who use our products. We believe that our products must lead the industry in innovation and technology and they must always be of the highest quality. We believe that we must constantly strive to reduce the cost of these products in a responsible effort to help our customers succeed. Our orders must be promptly and accurately filled. Support must be promptly and sufficiently provided. We believe that a Love at First Sight™ experience must be delivered to everyone. Over the years, the industry has come to acknowledge our unique contribution as The Breathing Color Advantage™.rint.
