pixma pro 9000 mk1 printing on canvas?

[andyc0114]

Hi folks, has anyone printed on canvas, polyester canvas or canvas textured paper with this printer. If so how were the results and what media was used? The on-screen manual lists canvas among the list of suitable media but later states media should be less than 200 gsm/53 lb. I have not seen any canvas type that light. Canon help desk would not advise if and which i could use! Thank,s

I think somebody at Canon has made a boo-boo in their manual..... even their own canvas is 350gsm and nobody I can find has canvas paper 'less than 200gsm'. I think I'd try a sample pack of paper and see if it works.

Yes i think your right about the canon boo boo regarding the on - screen manual, as the canon paper range i have ranges from 160gm to 245gm for photo paper pro ll.

I just tried Art Paper... It has a "textured" surface, much like a 'blotter', and is Natural White (NOT bright white)... I did a few B&W's through it with no problems what-so-ever. And they look Great. I have not tried color as yet, so I do not know just what it will look like.. I like the Bright White Semi-Gloss for printing any color shots.

I have successfully printed on 35cm x 43cm canvas using the Fine Art "photo rag" setting and customer page size to suit using Breathing Color Chromata White Canvas (matte) 450gsm. It comes on a 43cm wide role and I just cut off 35cm lengths. They print reasonably well, just a little slip on the image but I can trim the edges and end up with great canvas wrap prints with a 28cm x 35cm face.
