Paper for wide format photo printing

[StickerBee]

Im getting requests from local photographers if I can print some of their portrait photos. Is this something I can do with my Roland BN20? If so, what paper will you recommend? Is this cheaper cost effective for them rather than go to Costo or local print shop?

Please advise. TIA!

Quality won't even get close to a low end aqueous machine.
I'd pass on this to be honest. We used to print photos on our solvent, but it's an Epson S80600 with gigantic gamut compared to the BN20 and far clearer print quality.
We've moved all photos/posters back to an aqueous. The right tool for the right job.

If you reaaaally want to do this, Sihl 3672 made our clients very happy and was solvent compatible.

Thank you so much! How about if I print it on canvas?

How do you price them? per sq ft? How much?

According to Roland, canvas is a viable application for your BN20, but only their VersaEXPRESS RF-640 produces the high quality needed for fine art reproductions.
