The 2400 is really a sheet printer, and pretty small for stretched canvas, 
since a canvas is typically at least three inches larger than the image size in 
both directions for stretching. Also, canvas is typically a roll product, but 
not tiny rolls: big rolls at least two, ideally three inches inside diameter. 
So you would be looking for a sheet canvas to treat like sheet paper, and 
would probably end up mounting it like sheet paper as well.
