Does anyone know of any bookcloth which can be printed on using an inkjet printer?
I am making some artist books and want to print on to the bookcloth so I can bind my own covers - but I'm having trouble finding the bookcloth.
I have found a product in England which can be used for litho's but I think the pigment inks may not work - and getting a profile I think would be another hurdle I would need to overcome.
I thought about perhaps using a lightweight canvas, but I'm not familiar with what is available in this area because I've always printed on paper. It would need to be very close weave and rather lightweight - otherwise the corners of the covers will be disgusting, and unlike leather would be hard to par away the density to get a nice, neat corner. Can anyone advise me on the lightest, finest, closest weave canvas available?...sort of like the 'silk' of the canvas world?
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
