Re: Printing canvas, dye sub or inkjet?

Sorry didn't reply straight away kaz, yes Martin is right about the frog juice, I don't use it on subli items but for the canvas printed on my Epson wideformat printer. Canvases are a large part of my business and we do a lot each week. Having tried and tested several "as you do" to get the one you are happy with this is the one I have decided to stick with. I printed one 4 years ago which is still on display in the window, i'm not that lazy that I can't be bothered to refresh my window ;) but this one item is an example of the longevity of our prints. Other products are faded within 2 weeks so I think it's pretty good stuff.

Where the name frog juice came from I wonder??
There are many products out there for canvases, I personally don't like the roll on stuff even though my method works out much more expensive.

Thanks Nash but I'm not looking to stretch or wrap the canvas just glue/stick it to card.

Just left a long post and somehow it's gone so here's a short one, give this company a whirl [url="http://www.mandev.co.uk]www.mandev.co.uk[/url]. or Lion, I'm not entirely sure they have what you are after but if you call them they will point you in the right direction. They are great t deal with. There are also other alternatives/cheats to canvas prints it depends on the look you want to acheive. Sods law i cant find details but nash might be able to help me out here...i'm thinking of the box type one and the more recent inkjet diy canvas that was all over the pixel magazine recently. Any idea what its called?

Sorry goldrapt i'll have t sleep on this one. :?

Sublimation canvas here (and you don't need to buy in packs of 10 like you do from Xpres). You can mix and match...
