The cab is three greys and seven hard edges. The burst is twenty colours still moving.
That is the problem Reynolds gives the printer, and it is why this one works on canvas.
What the substrate does
Canvas is cotton and polyester woven tight, then coated matte so ink sits on top instead of sinking in. That surface keeps the vector cab crisp—the door line, the window frame, the mirror all hold their edge at 36 inches tall. No stepping, no blur where grey meets darker grey.
The burst gets the other benefit. Where poster paper would flatten those wet oranges and magentas into a single plane, canvas texture breaks the light. One colour sits physically forward of the next. The drips Reynolds poured read as drips, not a photograph of drips.
Latex inks on this substrate hit about 85% of the Adobe RGB gamut—the range of colours a screen can show. You lose some of the deepest magentas, but you gain a surface that does not glare under a lamp. That trade is worth it here.
The thing arrives stretched
This ships on a radiata pine frame, hanging hardware already on the back, rubber bumpers on the bottom corners so it sits 1/4 inch off the wall. You open the box, check the corners for shipping damage, hang it. The frame is 1.5 inches deep, which means the image wraps around the sides—gallery wrap, where the picture continues instead of stopping at a white edge.
Size tolerance is about 1/8 inch, which matters if you are hanging a grid. If you are hanging one piece, you will not notice.
The matte coating picks up dust, same as any matte surface. A dry microfibre cloth once a month is enough.
The format this needs
The canvas does two things poster cannot: it holds the vector tight at large scale, and it gives the burst physical depth. That makes it worth the step up from paper.
Framed adds a floating frame in black or white radiata pine. The frame here would fight the burst for attention. Skip it.
Verdict: Canvas. The substrate is doing work the image needs. You can see it from across the room, and you can see it up close, and both matter. Details and sizing here.
