Re: [Digital BW] Re: why print on matte paper? when you can use matte canvas...

2006-11-28 by Carl Schofield

I did a series of canvas (BC chromata) prints awhile ago using 13x19  
inch sheets printed with MIS K4 inks in my 2400 and 4000.  I just  
mounted the canvas prints to adhesive coated gatorfoam, trimmed  
flush, sprayed with matte fixative, and then displayed in frames  
without matte or glazing.  I didn't like the high OBA, bright white  
coating of the BC canvas, but otherwise worked fine.
