Printing to canvas
Posted: Fri Dec 04, 2015 10:37 am
I asked this question a while back but was unable to get around to giving this a try at the time. Since I cannot find my old post, I will ask my questions again.
I would like to print to canvas but have never done this before. I am using an Epson 4880 printer and PS CS5 fwiw.
1) Is there any consensus as to the best supplier of canvas? I have read some of Epson's canvas papers are good but are any of the third party providers better (however you define that)?
2) I am likely to stretch this print over a wood frame – what precautions, details, etc should I consider in light of this?
3) Are there any issues I should consider wrt to color when printing to canvas? Should I expect my workflow for printing to paper yield the same output to canvas? I guess I want to know if canvas responds to color ink differently (shifts, bleeding, etc) than paper does.
4) Any other advice that could save me time and/or paper?
Thanks for the help and I do apologize for the duplication.
