Been asked if I can supply these, and don't have a clue if my Ricoh is capable or not :lol:

I've also got an inkjet and a laserjet, and don't know if they are either :?

God, I think I should stick to what I know :lol:

Any ideas on how best to do this?

Thanks

Primed I think is when the canvas has been treated to stop the paint sinking in - its for painting with brushes.

To dye sub canvas you need to buy Dye sub canvas - for direct printing you need to by a canvas suitable for inkjet printing.

Thanks John

This is part of the message I've been sent


who like to paint in oils but prefer a pre-printed canvas to something like 'paint by numbers'. I used to be able to print modified photo images onto canvas for them to work over in oils,

Not got a clue as to if I can or not, but it's not subli canvas I need :(

Sounds as if you still need to print them, then they paint - so i'd go for the inkjet route.

Found this, give them a ring:

Never used them or done canvas, just found info through goggle.

Again, thanks John :)

I've got A4 size canvas paper upstairs, just waiting on her getting back to me to see if that's what she means.

She used to do them herself, then her printer died and she can't get the new printer to do them.

My head hurts from looking at google :lol:
