Photo Canvas Album

I am trying to make some gifts for Christmas. My idea is to take black and white photos and print them onto a very thin paper (like tracing paper or something). I then want to somehow use a diluted glue substance to transfer the thin paper to a canvas. Is this possible? If so, what type of paper would I need and could I do it on my printer at home? Also, could I just water down some glue and paint over it to add some effect or is there a certain substance that would do the trick? I want it to look different than just a photo.

I’m getting a 10 by 18 printed for a christmas present, and canvas is a little too expensive, but is a paper print lesser quality or not as good as canvas? Will it make too much of a difference?

I bought some printable photo canvas on sale once, and now it’s finished and I can’t remember the brand. Is there anyone out there who can recommend a good brand of canvas photo paper (letter-sized) that I can print on using a regular home office inkjet printer? I’m not in the USA and I’ll have to have it shipped so it has to be available online. Amazon.com has only two or three types but they’re not the brand I bought before and I want a wider variety to choose from. Thanks!

Giclée printing on wide-format printers is certainly a wonderful innovation in the world of fine art. What makes it so wonderful, among many other things, is that it allows artists to print their works on demand. They do not need to print their work by batches and then maintain costs by keeping them in storage, as they would if they used offset printing. Moreover, with giclée printing, artists can customize their work by printing on different mediums and different sizes according to how their clients want it.However, if you are an artist who has just decided to work with giclée printing, you need to know that the quality of your fine art prints is highly dependent on the kind of paper or print medium you are going to use on your wide-format printer. There are many factors that come into play here, so you need to choose carefully the kind of paper or print medium you will be using when you come up with your giclée prints. Here are a few tips on how to buy the right paper or print medium for your giclée printing.1. Determine what kind of ink you will be using. It is a simple fact that not all printer inks will work with a particular kind of paper or print medium and not all printer inks work with a specific kind of wide-format printer. Before you stock on paper and other print media, you should know first if they will work well with the ink you use on your printer. The best way to go about this is to buy small samples first and then make a few test prints.2. Check if your RIP software can handle the medium. Another reason why you should determine if your ink works with a certain kind of print medium is that the same image will look different when printed on different mediums, especially when it comes to color. Your raster image processing software or RIP should be able to strike a balance in the appearance and color of your fine art print when it is rendered on different mediums so that you can create a sense of consistency across the board for your prints.3. See if the printer head likes the print medium. As stated above, not all print media work well with a specific kind of wide-format printer. You should check the manuals of your wide-format printer or ask for technical support before you use a particular type of medium on the printer. Not only will this affect the rendering of the giclée print but also the print medium can leave particulates on the printer head that can clog or damage it eventually.4. Determine if the print medium can be laminated. Laminating the giclée print or putting a lacquer coating on it is meant to protect it from fading or damage as well as enhance its appearance.When you buy paper for printing giclée fine art prints on a wide-format printer, you need to make sure that you are getting the right kind of paper for your ink and printer. This is meant to ensure that you are creating high-quality printouts that will last a long time as well as protect your printer from any long-term damage.

I’m an artist and I do oil paintings and mixed media artwork (pencil, ink, watercolor, acrylic etc.). I’ve been offering some of my work as limited edition fine art giclee prints but I want to also start offering some more reasonably open edition priced photo prints as well. What what be a good photo paper to do this with? I’ve been looking into HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, has anyone used this paper for printing traditional artwork rather than photography?
by the way the Premium Plus Photo Paper comes in Matte, thats what I was thinking of using. Not the gloss
