Digital BW, The Print

Too bad you can't print on canvas. They look great with a couple of 
rolled , or foam brushed, coats of clear. Can't see any "marks", just 
the canvas texture.

D_max probably would be a problem for you, though.

(I've been using the Breathing Color Chromata White Canvas to print 
color portraits and they look great with a couple coats of clear 
applied)
