How to print on Canvas

Hi everyone,
Can anyone describe how I can print onto canvas ??.do I need a special printer, is it worth doing it yourself, there are some good sized prints around and I have some photos that would look stunning,

please help.............

Hi Andrew Ronaldson,
Yes I do print on artist canvas with stretching & wrapping around over 1 ins thick wooden frame.
My print is on solvent ink.My width of my machine is 2.5 meter with 20 meter length.
My canvas width can be up to 60 ins.Length doesn't matter to me.
You can visit my website :- www.fullspectrumsg.com
I am base in Singapore.

When it comes to canvas with prints then you have no choice but to buy the printed canvas in the quality it is available. There is nothing you can do about the fabric quality of the canvas. If you like the design of that printed canvas then you can go through the other method instead of buying that low quality fabric printed canvas. Just note down the design in your mind and get plain canvas in the same color. Then you can go to some canvas printing service and tell them the design you saw at the printed canvas. You will receive your printed canvas in few days and you will be amazed by seeing that you got the same canvas but in a good fabric quality. So it is recommended to always go and buy a non-printed canvas.

Thank You Silvia, I purchased a printer and am now doing my own prints, its a lot easier than I thought it would be, as you say its all in the quality and doing it yourself means its very cheap too.......

I bought a second hand Canon Pixma9000, it goes up to A3 and I use a continuous Ink system, it works out costing only $7 a print..........and the pictures on paper or Canvas are beautiful.

The printer only cost $75, so a bargain and that was including 8 brand new colour cartridges.......I also got 140 A3 Canvas sheets for $140...so only a dollar each.

I know absolutely nothing about printing on canvas,

but I recently got a link from some sort of newsletter photography thing I subscribe to. Currently you can get a "free" (you pay a seemingly high $15 shipping) 8x10 canvas, or $55 off another canvas from http://canvaspeople.com/ Looks like you also get 50% off additional canvases in the same order.

Just a deal I thought I would pass along even though I know nothing about it.
