If you mean feeding canvas through the printer, I don't think I would recommend it.

I have sent coated canvas sheets through my MFC-5890CN and it did the job, quality was fine, but I think if you did too many it would affect the paper feed system. I don't think it's rugged enough for doing too much of this.

Thanks for that bit of info

Update for the MFC-5890CN:

Today I decided to use the large cartridges in my MFC-5890CN - just with regular dye ink (I don't have enough dye-sublimation ink yet).

Unlike with the A4 printer, the cartridges are not quite as compatible. Not only does the tag on the magenta cartridge not reach far enough into the printer to trick it into thinking the cartridge door is shut but the slot for the tag is over the cyan cartridge, not the magenta cartridge on this printer.

The cartridges can still be used - by poking something into the slot - but it's worth bearing in mind that there is this extra step involved.

Very interesting but what is this profile gadget of Pauls please?
Is it some mega $$ gadget for the rich ?

No need to write 'bump', responding to the thread bumps it anyway The profile machine is a ColorMunki and costs around £350.

JSR. What DPI did you have on printing these two images please?

[JSR]

I normally aim for 300dpi but, to be honest, I let Qimage handle the printing.
