Hi Brian.
I saw some AMAZING prints recently that were "Iris"(Pro Inkjet) printed on
canvas.
These were reproductions of oil paintings. The original oils were shot with
some sort of large format digital back, printed on the canvas and then
sealed with a gloss coating.
The end result was truly amazing. Framed and under glass it was nearly
impossible to tell the original oil from the print. I know this sounds
ridiculous but it is 100% true.
