Stefano, all your work is gorgeous to begin with and then when printed out they look utterly fantastic. Love the colors and luminance of that baby portrait. Really amazing. Can you say how much it costs to print on canvas and tell how faithful the colors are to print directly from artrage or must they be taken to photoshop? Because these look great and seem to be WYSIWYG.
Is that your experience when printing from artrage to canvas?

well, I explain my experience.

For digital printing, you can set your canvas a resolution of 200dpi (so it uses less RAM).
In digital usually, I try to work on 200dpi and size 1:1 (actual size). For this painting, however, I have experienced yet. 200 dpi 30x30cm (for faster execution).

In my tests, one year ago, I discovered that enlarging a drawing directly in ArtRage the loss of detail was minimal. While the enlarged picture with photoshop tended to shelling. So I painted on a 30x30 cm at 200dpi. After completing the design, I combined all levels and enlarged the canvas to 50x50cm. I just printed at this size.

The graphic studio where usually I print all my paintings, uses only ink to natural source and not to solvents. The solvents tend to saturate the colors, but with natural pigments, what you see on your monitor is very similar to the one printed. In this case 99%.

The RGB of ArtRage is very reliable
and everything is more beautiful on canvas!

Thank you Stefano. They look very faithful to the digital ones. Well, I guess they never really stop being digital in the work flow... if you use a digital camera to take the photos as well. It really does look very faithful to the original images. Thanks again.

I only bought the canvas print (glossy). I created the wooden frame. And I framed with electric stapler. All made in home

I have spent a total of 23 €.
