When printing on Art Canvas....

[HulkSmash]

I'm starting to get tons of requests to do canvas prints on fine art canvas..

I'm printing on the latex...
does anyone put a spray lam, or brush some clearsheild on it?


or do you let it go out without the lam? do you put a heavier pass on it when printing?

thanks

We run ours on a QS 2000 UV. Dont do much else with it.

I would spray them. We have stretched latex
prints without spray and they worked ok.
but we always spay our canvas.

We do ours on the flatbed, too, but occasionally we will do it on the Roland. We generally didn't laminate or liquid clear any of them.

We just did three on real canvas last week on the flatbed. The canvas was already stretched and had a slight bulge, so we built a little jig and they came out really neat. They were Christmas gifts.



Many years ago, I did some on our old aqueous printer CJ500. Afterward, I took some liquid clear and built it up with a regular brush and when finished, it looked like the paint strokes and the real McCoy.
