View Full Version : Canvas 'look' photopaper
Does anyone know where I can get some canvas 'look' photopaper please.
The ones I've found are very expensive so I think they must be real canvas - between £60 -£70 for 25 A4 sheets. eeek.:(
It's for cardmaking so don't want expensive stuff. A 4 would be preferable.
I'm useless at these google etc searches, never seem to be able to get what I'm looking for. :o:rolleyes:
Thanks for any help.
I've had a quick google (oo-er) and found these

Would the acrylic canvas paper sold in pads at the Works pass through your printer, cut to size?

Great minds must think alike, I'm going to have a go at printing onto the Linen cardstock that I get from PDA to see if it gives that sort of canvassy look. Will let you know.

Joanna sheen sells some canvas type printer paper I bought some but havent used it yet. It looks nice though
Thanks everyone.
Thank you, I can't get the first link to work Anne:rolleyes:
I don't remember seeing anything like that in our The Works Lorraine. I don't go there very often and tried to look online but can't find anything again!:(
Thanks Dips, I'd like to know.:)
They are out of stock at the moment turquoise!:mad:
Well, I've just printed off a whole load of Jane Netley images onto a combination of Stardream, Linen-effect and Wove cardstock, and the effects are stunning.
The African images onto Opal Stardream (which is a very soft ivory/golden colour) look beautiful, as do the Marine images onto Quartz.
The Linen-effect (which is a mat, textured cardstock a bit like Bazzil- it's not the materail type stuff that I've seen JS use) is beautiful on the hand-skteched type images.
The Wove is proving great for very crisp, mat images.
I've been dead naughty and printed these all off on my work colour printer - am going to bring in more types/colours tomorrow. I think that the Flamingos onto pink stardream will be yummy!

Hi,
I use linen and wove card too, but I had some lovely canvas look paper from Partners. It isn't very canvas-y but gave a nice finish.
Thank you, I can't get the first link to work Anne:rolleyes:

Ooooh 'eck I think so. lol

I'm with Pam it didnt work for me either :D
I eventually ordered the paper from Joanna Sheen. It came today and I've printed one sheet and it looks really good, exactly what I wanted.
When I opened the parcel I though OMG it's not what I wanted, it's brown:eek: but after reading the packet:rolleyes: I found out you have to turn it over for printer use and it's white. :o
