Title: Canvas Printing
Post by: KevinWilliams on July 13, 2010, 10:27:25 am

Hey all just wondering what types of paper you guys use when printing canvas prints. Do you go with 100% canvas all the time or do you like to get the polyester blends? I sometimes go with the synthetic canvas for my prints that just need the look and feel of canvas.

there are many canvas material types available. Generally, the mixed fabrics do better when stretched - fewer issues with separation, cracking, and such.

Also, use Acrylic Latex over coats, that are flexible, and not likely to crack. These will turn a matte waterproof canvas into a matte, semi-matte or glossy looking canvas, depending on how you intermix the matte and gloss coatings.
