Title: 64" canvas for Epson 11880?
Post by: spotmeter on January 20, 2013, 07:00:16 pm

Anyone know of a source for 64" satin canvas for my 11880?

Would like to get some good quality canvas similar to the 44" Epson Satin Canvas.

Thanks.

IJ Technologies, for one.  Otherwise it's pretty thin pickin's for 64" aqueous canvas.  Was just trying out one of their Diamond Gloss canvas sample rolls, which suggests an above average manufacturing quality.

I'm with Bill.  Black Diamond rocks.  Best gloss canvas I've seen yet.

Innova IFA-36 is worth a look if you can drop to 60 inches. Keith at NorthlightImages used it recently for a large print:

I have been testing it recently, but haven't come to any firm conclusion yet. It prints well, has a good dMax, and the surface is resilient. The only problem I have had with it is the amount of cotton dust wrapped with it. I have to pull the length I want through the printer and dust it off before printing.
