My first cover for an Italian Publisher.

Hi-five Stefano. Congratulations. I like that smile on your face, enthused with your new accomplishment. Great guns and great going. The work is beautiful - you've every reason to smile from ear to ear.

Wow....what an informative thread, that's for sure! I do believe that this should be a "sticky" so it doesn't get lost in the back of this gallery! It might even be classified for the "Tips and Tricks" gallery - as a sticky of course!!!

I've been wondering what others are doing with their completed works with ArtRage and what it would entail for me to print any that I would like to have done. This is definitely a keeper and one for others to contribute their finished works and printing info!!!!

Vedo quello che hai fatto, ma non so se si sente l'esperimento ha funzionato. E 'difficile dire dalle immagini di piccole dimensioni. Qual è stata la tua impressione di incollaggio tela a tela, se ho ben capito.

I see what you did, but I don't know whether you feel your experiment worked. It's difficulty to tell from the small pictures. What was your impression of gluing canvas to canvas, if I understand you.

[misterpaint]

My impression is great

3) Universal Glue:

How about using wallpaper paste? It can can be put on the surface rather plane, by using a paint roller or large brush.

Wallpaper paste is a quite traditional glue especially made for large paper formats.
Normal other glues can contain chemicals which might destroy the paper after a while.

Here I found a tutorial how to make canvas print with an ordinary inkjet printer.

Unfortunatly it is only German.

The guy bought a cheap canvas, removed it of the woodframe and glued it with
week gluing removable glue on a strong paper sheet. Then he let his printer do the job,
removed the print from the paper sheet und put it back on the wood frame of the canvas.

Happy testing! ;-)

By the way - I am looking for an inkjet paper what has a light brownish color (not too yellow,
more ockre with a touch of umbra). Canson is tooo yellow. I need something
like that http://www.photoshop.de/pics/buettenpapier.jpg as special paper for inkjets.
Normal handmade-paper makes the inkjet color to bleed into the paper.

I want to print in a vintage-like style. The pictures shall look 100 years old.

Regards.

This is excellent Misterpaint! I didn't know small inkjet printers were capable of this! Thanks for sharing it. The result from the pic looks awesome!

>> Thx Narf for the links very kind.

>> Sketchism71 thank you, I'm testing many ways to exhibit their work independently

I thought I would share this. This is my first artrage painting. I am still getting used to the control of a tablet and trying to rediscover my talent for art. I am also trying to find the secret to scaling/printing/dpi and what my computer can handle (currently upgrading to try and handle the max artrage can deliver)

Anyhow, this was done at about 11x20, at 100 dpi. I then scaled it up to 26x38, not changing the dpi (which i will try here soon) and then had it printed off again on a 13x19.

All in all it came out well, there is a little difference in quality, but its not major.

This is just printed on heavy card stock, maybe 200#, from my local printshop.
