so coming up in this video I'm gonna be talking about the best printers
possible for printing on canvas what's most annoying is that these
manufacturers don't seem to mention whether these printers work with canvas
or not they just say oh it works with art paper well well thank you very much
so yeah they don't even tell you whether it works with canvas or not so basically
what I did is I found the people that are really good at printing on canvas
and I asked them which printers are gonna be the best for printing on canvas
they gave me lots of options and I I read many many blogs about this and I
found many questions of people asking which printers are gonna work for canvas
so basically I pinned them down to these five printers are gonna work best for
you for printing on canvas there are many other canvas printers but these are
the ones that I found work best for printing on canvas and many people are
using these and they are all reporting successful printing without having any
problems so before starting with this video I'm gonna be sharing a few tips to
make sure that you pick the right cameras printer for you now the first
step you want to look at is what size are you gonna print on it's really
important because this if you go for a really big size printer and you are only
gonna be printing on small things it's gonna be a waste of money but if you
want to print big things you definitely want to go for one of the bigger
printers and keep it in your mind that you're gonna need a lot of space if you
want to get one of those big printers you're probably gonna need a lot of
space now you may have this lingering question can I use any large format
printer or plotter to print on canvas sadly the answer is no because not all
printers are made to print on thick objects some are made to print on pretty
thin art paper and not all are made to print on canvas so you're definitely
gonna try and stick with the ones I recommend in this video because these
are proven to work time and time again to print on canvas
okay now I'll be talking about the inks now usually for printing on canvas you
don't want to go for a dye based ink dye based inks don't work well on canvas you
usually want to try and get a pigment based ink because those work much better
on the canvas and they last much longer and they look better so pigment based
are usually the preferred type for printing on canvas now you may be
thinking is resolution important for picking a printer yes and no because
resolution is important for looking at clothes objects but usually when you
print on canvas you're gonna hang it somewhere and you're gonna look at it
from a far distance so having a really high resolution or having the tiniest
difference in resolution is not really gonna make a difference because you're
gonna be looking at it from far away and you won't even see the difference in
resolution between most printers the better thing to be concerned about is
the color quality the next question is gonna be how often are you willing to
use this printer if you're gonna use this printer every single day and you
wanna use it for a business and you wanna maybe sell some canvas paintings
and stuff you are definitely gonna try and go for a high-end printer but if you
are working on a budget and you don't have so much money to spend on and you
just want it as a hobby just so that you can print some good quality canvas
prints and you're gonna be using it every single day but maybe twice three
times a month you can definitely go for one of the budget options now the
difference between getting a high-end printer and a low-end printer is that
high-end printers are definitely gonna be much faster at printing and they will
give you much better color quality mainly they will have very good blacks
so usually cheap printers don't have very in-depth blacks the blacks are
usually a bit faded out so if you want very accurate accurate black-and-white
colors you're definitely gonna try and go for a more high-end printer and if
you want to be using this thing for a long time
it's definitely a better option to go for the high quality ones because they
will have more support and they are built to last longer so make sure to
know that all the product links are gonna be mentioned in the description
and if you want more in-depth details on the subject make sure to check the
written blog which will also be linked in the description
so coming up in number five we have the Canon IP 8720 now this printer is gonna
be your best budget option so first of all this printer uses pigment inks which
are known to be best for printing on canvas it can also produce prints as
large as 13 inches by 19 inches the color resolution is 9600 x 2400 dpi okay
so now let's talk about the main concern which is the ink it uses a six color ink
system so a cool feature with this printer is it does not use too much ink
so if you are worried about printers that always use the ink so fast this is
not one of them this uses ink very well it is extremely compatible with Windows
and Mac devices you will not have any problems with the drivers it also uses a
fine nozzle which makes sure that your prints are gonna come out and very high
detail now what Canon promised is that they use Koroma life 100 plus so
basically what they say is that when you print with this printer your photos are
gonna be stored for up to 300 years so what that means is that their ink
quality is very high and lasts for a very long time the only cons of this
printer is that it is pretty loud and it does not come with an automatic document
feeder so don't expect a roller or option for the price of this thing the
color quality is amazing you won't expect anything like this at this price
and it's an amazing choice if you are starting out and you just want to get
into your new hobby so coming up in number four we have the Epson short
color p800 this is a great high-end option so this
printer can print up to 17 inches by 22 inches which is very good so you can
print large canvas prints using this printer it uses the recommended
pigment-based inks and it also uses epson's
ultra chrome HD inks so what's so amazing of this printer is it uses a
three level black ink technology and an advanced black and white mode for
professional level black and white prints so they have three different ink
cartridges to make sure your black colors come out very good another cool
thing about this printer is it uses a roll feeder
so that's gonna allow you to use roller based media
now I also usually recommend to go for bigger ink cartridges because they are
usually cheaper so if you go for smaller ink cartridges you are usually paying
for the ink cartridges themselves however when you get the bigger ones
you're usually paying more for the ink so what's cool about this printer is it
uses eighteen milliliter in cartridges now the optimal base temperature for
using this thing is gonna be between 50 and 95 Fahrenheit which is gonna be 10
to 35 Celsius but don't worry storage is not gonna be a problem you can store
this printer from under minus 4 to 104 Fahrenheit which is minus 20 Celsius to
40 Celsius it also uses a touchscreen interface and it has two younger brother
versions it has the short color p600 and the short color p400 those are also good
options if you want to look into them you can use this printer through Wi-Fi
USB or Ethernet now the only thing to be aware of when buying this printer is
make sure you buy one that has a serial code that is meant to be used in your
country because what happened with other users from the United States is they
port this printer and it wasn't intended for use in the United States so when
they had problems and they contacted support they told them no we do not
support this thing because it's not supported in the United States so make
sure you buy this printer from a reputable source and make sure it is
intended for use in your country that way you will get the full support that
you deserve coming off the number-three is gonna be
the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 this is the best high-end option but it's also the
most expensive this printer will best be used in a business setting so if you
want to use this thing and sell your own canvas prints this is definitely a good
option it is a big printer and it can print sizes up to 17 inches by 22 inches
it is world renowned for professional printing and it uses an advanced micro
piezo AMC printhead by Epson the color quality on this printer is amazing so if
you want your gallery quality colors this is gonna be an amazing option for
you so this is definitely the best option for serious people are looking
for the best printer possible it prints fast and it has amazing print quality
and it has many features that outshine the competition it has amazing black
and quality and it uses industry-leading pigment ink technologies this thing is
really designed without any compromise so if you are a professional and you
want the best this is gonna have all the features you need the ink technology
this thing uses is Epsilon's ultra chrome k3 with vivid magenta ink it also
uses a Q photo hd2 technology and it has specialized support by an expert team at
Epson this printer has no qualms whatsoever coming up in number two we
have the Canon Pixma Pro 10 and in some countries is called the Pro 10's this
printer has two different versions there's the Canon Pixma Pro 10 and there
is the pro 100 they are both very good options however the pro 10 uses
pigment-based inks and the pro 100 uses dye-based inks but you're definitely
gonna try and go for the pigment based options because they work better for
countless this printer is the best high image range option so it can print up to
13 inches by 19 inches it has a 4800 dpi print resolution which is highly
detailed and grain free so this printer uses a combination of pigment-based inks
and Koroma optimizer which adds uniform velocity
mists and a wide color gamut for intense blacks so this will definitely satisfy
the professionals that want very intense blacks so this thing reproduces
extremely accurate colors and it is compatible with individual PGI 72 ink
tanks you can replace the inks that run out so if you use one color dominantly
you won't need to swap out all the inks you can replace the color that you need
that needs filling this is another printer that uses three dedicated
monochrome inks for amazing black-and-white pictures this is gonna
get me the best professional quality home based printer if you definitely use
this in a studio or if you're an artist or a photographer this is definitely a
good option for you you can also print photos directly from your smartphone
using canons easy photo print and many people are using this printer to print
on canvas and if you are interested in printing on CDs and DVDs this also has
that option the best thing about this printer is the ink cartridges are very
easy to refill from compliant inks and from refill markets so you could easily
refill the ink cartridge itself without buying a whole
new one which will definitely save you lots of money in the long run the best
thing about this Canon printer is that Canon came up with an amazing solution
for a wide known problem usually when artists try to print something it comes
out different than it looks on the screen so Canon solved that problem they
came up with this program called optimum Lightroom which helps the prints come
out exactly as you see them on the screen without any tweaking so that
means that you won't be surprised after you print the thing and it looks
different than it does on the screen it's gonna look exactly like it looks on
the screen coming up in number one is gonna be the Epson Artisan 1430 this is
your best mid-range option the reason this printer is on number one
is because many different people use it to print on canvas so it's extremely
well known to print well on canvas you could easily find many people that use
this printer and for a very good reason it prints on canvas without much
problems it can print photos up to 13 inches by 19 inches and the photos look
stunning out of this printer it uses Epson inks that last a very long time
and they are pigment-based inks it has a very nice and easy to use printer
control panel and as all the other printers on this list you can print
using wireless Wi-Fi Ethernet or USB and the Wi-Fi on this printer works
flawlessly and it's very easy to set up so this is gonna be the perfect option
for home users and another cool thing about this printer is it comes with
bundled Photoshop Elements and it gives magnificent color detail prints are
water fade smudge and scratch resistant so they usually don't require any extra
layers of protective spray after they are printed you could also use this
printer to print onto CDs or DVDs directly so then you won't need to use
any stickers or labels the only cons of this printer is it is rather slow when
printing high resolution photos so if speed is very important for you then
this won't be the best option for you but other than that this is gonna be an
amazing option and this printer also does not have a roll media option so
this where cost is gonna print anything you need you're gonna fall in love with
the color quality and it's never gonna fade and don't worry about reach
the end of its lifecycle because it's built extremely well and it should last
you a long time without any issues and the nozzle heads don't clog up as often
as other printers so that it requires less maintenance and you're gonna have
less problems in the future so he found this video helpful make sure to
