Ive printed about a dozen canvases over xmas. I just take a normal photo, blow it up to the required size and then print using t-shirt inks. Ive brought the resolution down to 72dpi and it looks like a hand painted canvas.
I bought the canvases already made up on a frame for 2.50€ from a local craft shop. Size 30x40cm.
To print I just place it in the same position as a t-shirt , adjust the height and press print. To dry I hover the heat press over the canvas and leave it for about 5 mins. There is no real necessity to cure the ink as it wont be washed.
The Neoflex will print a larger area, I think about 42 x one meter. That is done in the Neo software.
I dont have any photos of my work. When I do I will upload them.

Re: Printing onto Canvas with a DTG printer
Sounds good Earl, Congratulations. Also do them on my Versacamm, they print really well too, but the canvas is more expensive unfortunately lol.
