i’ve read that’s possible to print with an inkjet printer like Epson 7880 on canvas.
Yes. Epson’s Pro line of printers are designed to print
on fine art media, including canvas that is coated
for inkjet printing. Both Imagekind and RedBubble use
Epson printers to make the canvas prints they sell.
If you don’t mind spending a few dollars, you can
buy a print to sample the quality. (Just to add a
lousy attempt at self-promotion. 😉
If you want to learn more, go to Epson’s website
and look around — at the Professional stuff,
not the home and business printers. They sell
at least two types of canvas.
Some of HP’s high-end printers may also be able to
print on canvas, and you can take a look at their
models, too.
If you don’t have a printer that you are sure
is designed to print on canvas, be careful.
You can easily damage your printer and you may
definitely void your warranty (according to an HP customer service rep I had asked). Photo printers can handle
photo paper, which is about 10 mils thick, but are
not rated for anything thicker than that. Just now
I measured the samples of Epson canvas. One is 16 mils
and the other is 20 mils.
