printing on canvas

[WCSign]

anybody doing anything cool? I just got the sample from Roland today.. very nice

 

[Joe Diaz]

Yeah, recently we've been doing a bunch of printing on canvas. One project was for a local restaurant. We're taking old historic photos of the area and printing them on canvas. I Like the way they turned out so much, that I think I'm going to print some stuff for my studio/guestroom in my house.

yeah that sounds awesome, I do some reprints of original artwork for a gallery in Oakland, thats what made me get the sample.. its pretty impressive

we print on canvas alot on our roland. i really like doing black/white canvas prints, they have so much more depth.
i did a 3ft one of the new york skyline(color) for my office and used reclaimed wood for the framing.
our roland really does print nice canvas i must admit.

Whose material are you using? I have a Roland also and the last couple samples turned out like poo. It was some time ago so I don't remember the name. I have tons of my own photography that I would like to print to canvas, and make a gallery wall.

we have a roll of canvas from fellers at the moment. doesn't have a label on the inside, sorry, just checked.
We have also used canvas from proveer, they have "house brand" that we tried and got some good results from.
Both canvas rolls we have(1 from fellers and 1 from proveer, different sizes) print real nice. the colors are very good and we haven't had any problems with either rolls.

Cool. We have an account with Fellers. Haven't heard of proveer though.

Thanks for the intel.

We use the HP Satin Canvas. I don't have a problem with it. Use a 16 pass bidirectional. Comes out clean and then wrap around a frame. Heres a picture.

 

[rjssigns]

Very Nice.

We also made some patches for a pair of canvas shoes for an employee. She then took and sowed onto the shoes. I don't have a picture but i'll see if I can get one.

Very nice. What .icc did you use?

 

[BIG EASY DOES IT]

I used the Profile for 13oz Key Banner.

Thanks. I have the sample Roland roll too but haven't had the chance to test it out. Your print looks nice. Now to find a picture worth printing

 

[WCSign]

Nice!! Thanks for all the input and replies guys!! I think it could be a great random service that could fill a niche need and generate some income

I really like the Neschen Monet canvas.
