With a rich heritage spanning over four centuries, the Canson brand has firmly established itself as a trusted & renowned name in the art world. Since its inception in 1557, Canson has been synonymous with quality & innovation, serving as a go-to choice for artists of all levels. The Canson XL range was specifically developed to meet the needs of art students—high sheet counts, various textures & weights, & sturdy binding at an affordable price.
