| Does anyone have any experience printing photos on canvas, fabrics or alternative media? Are you able to buy letter size canvas sheets? Is there anyplace online where a person can have a larger size printed? What is the cost? |

I have printed from my epson on 8x10 canvas and loved it. You can usually buy it at like office max, office depot and I think I've seen it at best buy and walmart. I have not bought any from this place but you can see if they have what you are looking for. I also know there are places you can send your images to and they will do it online. Someone here has a link in their signature but can't remember who.
Good luck.

//www.photobox.co.uk can do canvas up to 60x40cm for £99.95, but they will only ship canvas within Britan or Northern Ireland. |

I've gotten pre gessoed canvas at art stores and run them through the printer with great success. That way I can cut them to the size I want leaving enough on the sides to mount them to a stretcher frame. Just be sure to spray them with a fixative once the ink has dried. Otherwise, they smear very easily if anyone put a sweaty finger on it.

| A good friend of mine purchases from Inkjet Art all the time. It's available on the internet, but we actually just walk over to the store during lunch. :-) |

when the first version of the epson stylus came out we ran anything that would fit and then some, sketch paper, watercolor paper, canvas, film, etc.
can be sort of hard on the printer, i think papers designed for it work better.
