danmcintyre Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I did feel it and it has more texture than the canvas type paper for home printers . If I have to I guess I'll use Super 77 spray ...lol. I think that I can do it ... it is an option from a photo store so I also guess it has been done before ....

dickhilker Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Just heard from the Crane tech rep who said they do it themselves and have no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcintyre Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thankx ! I ordered it and just started thinking ....... lol. I got a magazine from the UK .... and there are tons of adds in it for this stuff , I guess it is very popular over there . I'm thinking posterized abstracts or portraits would look good done this way ....mine is a landscape/ graffiti . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickhilker Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Dan, I've been using Krylon acid-free spray that's available at Michael's and probably most large hobby and craft shops. I've found it important to spray both surfaces and let them dry for a moment before pressing the print in place and smoothing it from the center outward with a soft cloth.

danmcintyre Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Is that spray an adhesive ? or a protective coating ? And are you talking about canvas or photo paper ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
