Sharpen more or less for Canvas

[Oldfox]

I have a photo which is printed on A3 Ilford Smooth Pearl Paper. I am happy with the result.

When I print the same photo and same size on canvas (Epson Water Resistant Matte Canvas), should I use more/same amount/less sharpening than on the paper?

Absolutely more!  It should actually look oversharpened, not something you would want to display on your screen, but once printed, it will give that same screen sharpness.  I find I also zoom in to just 50% in photoshop and look at it that way as a way to simulate a little.  At 100% it might look too sharp, but if at 50% it looks good, then it should print good as well.

This is where the value of the "Capture -> Creative -> Output" sharpening technique really shines. For canvas the only change I make is to switch to Matte/High in Lightroom's print module. The sharpening in the develop module remains the same.

I would guess printing on that canvas you would need more, but it may not really matter, as the epson canvas really doesn't hold detail very well.
