    Paper roll background question

    I used fine wood saw to cut my 2.7m roll and it looks fine. Don't have to unroll.

    Printers?? Please recommend??

    Do you know what size printer do you want? Is it A4 or something bigger? I'm using Epson R285 (A4) and I'm very happy with results. At work we are using Epson Stylus pro 3800 for up to A2 and I like this one the most, Epson 7800 and 7900 for 24" rolls and 9880 for 44" rolls. Bigger the printer...

    Can anyone recommend a good place to purchase stretcher bars to mount printed canvas?

    You can try alluminium bars from www.you-frame.com The website is a bit confusing, but call or email them and they will help. Maximum bar size is 60 inches.

    RIp software.. whats it all about?

    Hi, all I know is that with RIP software you can override printer drivers, so you are not limited by them. Also you get more precised calibration. What did you use to calibrate your printer? I used I1 Pro and was very pleased with results.

    Aluminium printing?

    It looks like this is normal print with alluminium backing only: It got nothing to do with image beeing printed on to alluminium directly I'm affraid. In this case your image will look like a normal print. Hope that helped Pav

    Hi, I did one book myself. That was A6 size test, but effect was quite good. I printed that on to A5 photo paper, folded in half and bonded backs toogether. Cover was made from hot laminated printed canvas bonded on small metal plates( I couldn't find backing paper :( )

    printing on metal using Giclee - anyone seen/bought it?

    It's all depend on picture you printing. I agree, not all pictures look great on metal. But some look stunning. We had few images printed, **** didn't work, that's normal. The same on acrylic, canvas, matt, gloss paper - not every image will look amazing.

    Free Photobook

    That what they sent me. It mean that only A5 - 8 page or 16 pages A6 is free of charge. Sounds good for me...

    Brand of Paper

    Ilford Galerie Smooth pearl and High Gloss works for me the best. For prints other than photos (leaflets, text) I use cheapest possible.
