My experience with printing on canvas is, admittedly, sparse - limited to 3 sheets of 8½ x 11 sheets that came with sample packs. But, that experience has been less than encouraging.
The biggest problem I'm having is getting the canvas sheets to feed properly into the printer. The sheets are just too floppy and the printer can't seem to grab them properly - resulting in the image printing crooked on the page.
I've done a bit of research (i.e. google) into this and wasn't able to find much; but, I did find a site that suggested taping a "guide sheet" to the front of the canvas. I'm out of canvas samples; so, I can't try this just yet. But, I would like to figure this out. The instructions were specifically for the Epson R2400; but, it seems like it would be apropos to the R2880 as well

I haven't yet decided if I even like the look of canvas. Its heavy texture can, IMOHO, be a bit distracting depending upon the image. Red River Paper has a River Linen paper which has a similar, albeit more subtle, texture. But, it's still a paper and not a canvas.

ReplyDeleteIf using roll canvas, the curl is the wrong way. Cut off a piece the size you need and gently re-roll it the opposite direction. After a couple of minutes, you can straighten it and put the canvas in the sheet-feeder. I've had poor luck taping a piece of packing tape to the leading edge of the canvas, and the single-sheet feeder doesn't like canvas as well. The regular sheet-feeder is best.
