don't stretch it with stretcher bars, how do you mount and hang it? 
Excuse my total igorance. I print with the Epson 2400 in case there are 
things specific to the type of printer.

I've read a few things about this, but to get a good answer you would 
need to hear from some painters and conservators. Some people prefer 
stretched canvas on open bars, others prefer to mount on "solid" wood 
backing. There were reasons for each, but I don't really know enough 
about it to try and explain. But that might give you some keywords for 
a web search.
