Is it possible to darken a canvas after printing?
« on: September 12, 2014, 03:33:07 pm »
Image is over-exposed once printed on canvas.  Blacks are dark grey.  Can I apply a coating to darken it?

Not really.

Is the canvas matte or glossy?  If matte a satin or glossy will darken it a bit but not very much.

Sound like you have either a profile problem, a media setting problem, or both.

What is the canvas brand and printer?

It's 350gsm poly/cotton matte finish.  I am a professional photographer, but outsource my printing and canvases, so I'm afraid I don't know what printer etc was used.
