Title: Rough canvas for HP Z3100
Post by: Iamnemo on June 23, 2008, 07:09:56 pm

Hi!  I am looking for the roughest canvas (or even jute or burlap / hessian cloth!) that would be compatible with my HP Z3100 printer.

I doesn't have to be white; an off-white would color would even be a plus here.

The canvas samples I've seen have a fine "thread".  I want something more "rustic"-looking   Would there be any issues / problems (mechanically (jams), ink usage, etc.) associated using such a medium?

I'm also looking for a list of all inkjet-compatible canvas manufacturers.

Thank you very much for any help!!  Iam Nemo

Hi!

Try to get one of those paper sample kits from Hahnemuhle (they usually give those away for free). There are some really rough papers in there that I didn't dare to try on my printer :-)

Regards,
Luis

Please let us know what you settle on Iam.

It is a lot more expenisve to order up samples of canvas and test than papers.

Thanks!

Michael

Hello Luis & Michael,

Thank you for your answers.

Luis:  I already have the Hahnemuhle sample pack and one paper does feel like sand paper So I understand your point... :-)  

Michael: I will.  So far some manufacturers are willing to send free "sample" rolls (25ft) and swatches of their canvas.
