I bought this directly from HP when it was on sale (1 free if you buy 2). At first I was hesitant about buying 60 feet of canvas for a hundred and twenty bucks but if you are into fine art printing with 12 megapixel and up cameras, this will make a 20x24" print that looks like an oil painting using heavy pigment ink on my HP designjet 3200ps HP DesignJet Z3200ps 44" large-format printer color ink-jet Roll (44 in) 2400 dpi x 1200 dpi up to 2 min/page (color) USB, 10/100Base-TX

I didn''t know if I should waste 8" to do a color calibration so I did anyways and it turned out for the better. The yellow was under represented in the pigment inks and the color calibration on the canvas boosted the yellow output.

Because the canvas is primed it only required 3.4 ml of ink to print with vivid colors (HP vivera inks #70). I have not had a chance to try it yet on my DJ 130NR printer which uses dye based inks instead of the pigment, however a side by side comparison will need to be done.

Take note that this is a thick cloth with a white primer. It actually used less ink than a similar size photo paper and gave a much more vivid picture in 20 x 24". The next step is to buy a frame for it and tack it into the frame. You can make a frame yourself from 1x2 lumber and a air tack gun. Bevel the ends (the 20 and 24 sticks) to 45 degrees and square it all up. Use your same pneumatic tack gun to stretch the fabric in a lugnut pattern, pulling it tight in the process. You will want generous margins on all 4 sides to accomplish this. Finally you can put it under glass or just leave the fabric open as its lifespan is 200 years.

The roll of canvas arrived in the factory box/packaging which was fully in tact and not damaged in any visible way. The roll inside once opened and started to be fed into the plotter had two tears in the middle of the canvas sheet about 1" long each and about 2 feet into the roll. The only explanation I can come up with is that it was put into the box this way as the box appears to be in perfect shape, the plastic wrap on the roll was not damaged in any visible way. To lose 2+ feet off a 20 foot roll is quite a bit of lost material/money. That''s why I only gave it 4 stars. I''ve had glossy paper arrive with tape on the gloss surface which also damaged the first foot or so.

Other than that initial flaw, the canvas works perfectly for inkjet plotting of photos so far in an HP Z6100.

Want HP Artist Matte Canvas (24 Inches x 20 Feet Roll) Discount?

I bought this without any real need for it. I wanted to paint big but lacked the room and funds. I can roll out a big sheet and pain. When it''s dry I can put it away until I paint again. I want to try printing on it too then painting over the print. It is a cheap way to play around for me

Printed on canvas for my first time. Canvas prints well. Pictures look very natural. Well worth the try.
