Thanks Ross
From what you say and the questions you ask it looks like I have a lot of reading and research to do. I'll need to find out if the Epson WP models can print on canvas or not. The WP-7610 and 7620 are A3 and use pigment inks and cost between €250-€320, considerably more expensive than the equivalent Brother printers.
Madeira is a very touristy island and I also want to take advantage of this fact by making use of the thousands of photos I have taken over the years and canvas was my first choice.
Initially I read about using quality Neenah paper transfers onto canvas. Then I read your posts and became very interested in printing direct to canvas, but always thought that a fairly expensive printer was needed, which at the moment I can't really afford.
The method you use to hang the canvas is very interesting and very practical for tourists to take with as they don't occupy so much space as a full frame would. What are those 2 bits of wood attached to the canvas called?
You say that by using Epson inks the Brother loses vibrancy. Does it lose a lot or only a little?. How about good quality 3rd party pigment inks like OCP from Germany, will the Brother do well on canvas using them?
Thanks
