Actually Ken, Gmail decided that this post was spam on my machine. If I
didn't check in to make a couple of configueration changes I'd have
never seen it. Google likes playing big brother. There seems to be no
way to turn their spam filters off, I'm perfectly happy letting
Thunderbird handle the spam filtering once the mail arrives at my
machine, but Noooo....
(and don't feel bad, one from caglia and larry got there too)

Might I or my provider be listed in your spam filter ?

OT:
For some reason Gmail hates Ken Waller:
it gives my huge
"Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of
following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal
information" in Red at the top your e-mails and puts them into Spam
folder :(

I've had limited experience with Epson canvas which I mounted on wooden

will not
have the protection of glass & will be directly exposed, you need to
use a
'sealer' to protect the image. I've used a product 'Kamar Varnish by
Krylon.
I recently saw a comercially available program (name escapes me)
which is
used in the layout of the image to give you the final image with
provisions
for the wrap.
The results were well worth the effort.

Subject: Gallery wrap: paper ok or only canvas will do?
I'm getting into printing and investigating mounting and displaying
methods. Gallery Wrap seems to be getting a lot of buzz lately, and I
see that Hahnemühle sells a DIY system that they call gallerie wrap:
http://is.gd/22oz4
They suggest it's good for both paper and canvas, but I'm a little
doubtful about paper. This system relies on stretching the print as the
sides are folded-up (I'd be afraid of tearing), and the print is
directly exposed to the air.
So far I've had some prints done on HM German Etch (320 gsm) textured
paper, and that appears to way too brittle to survive the folding
process. I've also had a couple of prints done on Canon's Satin Photo
paper (240 gsm) and that seems like it would be too fragile to be
mounted like this.
Anyone here have experience with gallery/gallerie wraps and using
paper,
or canvas for that matter. Has it worked out well? What about using for
exhibiting, say in a hotel lobby?
Thanks!
