Gary,
Thanks! I'll try it! I've ordered a product to be applied as a precoat. Am
hoping it will preserve the color. Will also use UV protecting sealant and
artist' varnish over the top.
Also, when you say paper leader do mean you place the canvas on a sheet of
paper that's as big as the canvas with 2" of paper sticking out in front or
do you just cut a 2" strip of paper as wide as the canvas and tape the front
end of the canvas to the paper so the paper goes in first? Does masking tape
work?
Thanks again!
Marge

130
Marge,
regard your question about using canvas on my DJ130, I have used Magiclee
Torino 17M (it's still current with details on their website) in my printer
quite physically successfully through the front feeder with 2" thick paper
leader - taped - and had no problems with scratching. Unfortunately, even
after several coats of laquer protection (Premier Art), the prints faded
significantly after 2-3 years. I haven't yet found a canvas the prevented
the fading of the DJ130 dye ink, and I don't think they will, even with
encapsulated rolled protection laquer. I just think that the dye inks work
successfully without the encapsulated 'paper' i.e HP manufactured satin or
gloss. I think that fading on art paper is a similar issue, or perhaps not
quite as strong as my canvas experiences. Good luck,
Gary.
