10 sheets of inkjet printable canvas has come into my possession. My printer manual tells me that i can print on canvas with my printer ( Epsom stylus 2100 ) but it seems that no one bothered to tell my printer because it will not accept the canvas I'm now running out of ideas. Has anyone had experience of printing on canvas on any printer that my be helpfull

....... from memory.... as I am moving and have packed my 2100.... there is a leaver right hand side at the back with 3 different settings...... one of the settings is for canvas and you have got to use the botton feed tray....... should be some info on the Epson site

yes you can feed material 2 different ways with the 2100 and others I guess

Thank's for the info. I have now tried printing a canvas but still having problems with lining up the canvas to print straight and borderless. The Epsom web site has no detailed info that i can find about printing on any media through the lower manual feed slot so it looks like eather trial and era or help from someone who has done it.

Well trial and error have worked as i can now print onto canvas with very few problems. one of the things i have learnt tho is that it needs a very different colour calibration programme to work on canvas than paper. So if you want too try it out check your printer calibrations as they may not suit canvas,(it dose swallow up a lot of ink)
