    looks good mate.

    Do you change the settings for canvas on your printer?

    Everytime I try canvas it looks really washed out.

    I’ve done the 8 pass too, not much difference, and it does not seem to get into the weave, if you know what I mean..

    I used the Oce material, seems to be less flat and staurated than the others.

    [8 pass and choosing the right profile was important.]

    The customer didn’t approve any of the designs I just did them…..which is good…no back and forwarding

    😀

    Very nice,
    i,ve had good results on canvas but just printed on to primed artists canvas was using ECO + inks and an altered profile which i adjusted myself at the time. Not tried since swopping to the Ultra inks may have a play now just to see the resullt.

    How do you frame the canvas? Just stretch it over the frame by hand? I find it sags a bit even using stretcher pliers, on large prints.
    Looks great your work.

    we do custom canvas printing, are prints are bright and clear and very colourfull. We dont use solvent printers for it, we use a epson with pigment inks. then put 3 coats a print guard laquer over it. ink always gets into the weave. our canvas is Fredrix archival print canvas. its fantastic
