Canon Graphic Canvas Stinks!
« on: April 05, 2009, 09:51:39 pm »

Well my images look beautiful on it but it smells like it is giving off paint fumes. I can't even stay in the same room with the prints. Does anyone know what is going on and how long before the smell is gone?

All the prints I do will smell from the ink for a short time after printing. Are you sure its the paper? Do other papers do the same thing?

I find that it takes 24 hours or so for the ink to dry on my Epson canvas prints, and then they no longer have an odor.  

I'm grateful that the smell is so much less than my old darkroom.

Just the Canon Graphic Canvas. I have other paper and other canvas. I don't even have to print on it, just unroll it.  It seems to go away on the prints after a few days.  But I have to move them into another room after I print on them.
