Title: Canvas media
Post by: meierm01 on May 23, 2007, 09:21:10 pm

I am in need of printing some work on canvas media.  Does anyone have any direct experience using canvas on the Z3100?  I would appreciate some recommendations.

Regards,
Mark

Hi, I've used the HP Artist matte canvas 42 inch with good detail and colour after profilling. I think it automatically disables the cutter but just to be sure, I use the button in the driver to disable it too. The built in cutter cant cut it (excuse the pun!). You have to manually cut it. I just used scirrors and used the leading edge on the printer as a guide to keep it straight.

Loads back in for me but you have to make sure it's a straight 90 degrees cut!

cheers, Evo

Now gallery wrapping is a nother story!

It works, that's all I can say. Used HP's Pro Matte Canvas and Magiclee's Torino 17 M (custom profile) and they both work well. Cutter will not work as long as you select a canvas media choice. Spray coating with Lascaux and one similar water based acrylics was good, no yellowing like I have had with other inks and canvas choices. Good Dmax.

I've used Breathing Colors canvas in the Z with good results.
