Congratulations on the show.
The Frederick Canvas is a good one. You should have no issues with it.
If you are going to print a long image, much past 90 inches, you might need the imageprint rip for that. Epson seems to have issues
much past 90 or so inches. Some people report no problems, others get the print cut off. Imageprint will take that concern out. Also
the problem seems to happen more on Windows based machines, at least from what I have read. Longest print I have made is 85" on a 9880
with the Epson driver and CS, no problems. NOTE, IMO if you are going that long, you may need some help in handling the prints.
Also if you have not stretched before, I would job that out, especially if you are doing gallery wraps, and even more if you are doing a mirrored
edge. This to me is a critical part of the work, and if not done well can have a real effect on the final appearance. With a larger print this is
even more critical.
One thing to note, Epson printers tend to have problems with the running length with canvas. Net if you are printing a 40 x 60, 60 inches is your
running length, more than likely you won't get exactly 60 inches. You may come up short. This can be a big problem if you are using a gallery wrap
with a mirrored edge. Here is an example.
On a 30 x 40, with a 2" mirror, your final image will be 34 x 44. 44" is your running length, your mirror will be the outer 2". Without an adjustment
to the paper feed, you will get a 34" x 43 3/4" image or something close to that. This means you have to be careful in creation of the the stretcher bars, i.e
don't do them in advance or the final print won't fit.
In more recent publications, Epson has admitted to this and recommends to change the paper feed adjustment depending on
the printer. I can send you more info on this if you like.
