  • what kind of printer do you have? thanks for sharing your methods this was very cool!

  • @nspire2day Thanks! We have an Epson Stylus Photo that will take thicker art papers and canvas. It's an older model, and so they don't sell the particular model number anymore, but if you check the specs on various printers, they should let you know the thickness of the paper they'll take or the kinds they'll take. Ours has a lever on the back that you put down for thicker papers.

  • If you have a prestretched canvas and you need to put pressure on it back up the area inside the stretcher frame with wood the same thickness, such as smooth faced plywood. It will give you a hard surface with the canvas between the original and the plywood. You can also print onto canvas with a plotter, if you have access to one and have canvas on roll made for plotters.

  • what an awesome tip! thanks for sharing!

  • cool idea ... xoxo
