I got XC-540 and comes out beautiful actually and looks even better than from epson 7800 and 720x720 works fine

I using Rolands material but hate using the matte material because look so bland but the new glossy is like amazing
very durable,great finish and colors look vibrant and very color accurate.
done tones of stretched 3'x5' wraps with no problem

Thanks Sean
I know a lot of people say they don't like using Rolands materials but I have not heard anyone mention the canvas material.
I need to give it a try and just wanted to make sure to ask which is best because everyone on here gives great advice.

Thanks again for the great info. greatly appreciated. If you don't mind me asking what settings did you use? what software do you use, versaworks I know but Photoshop, corel, etc?

Great looking pics, is this someone you do work for on a regular basis? I am trying to get some doen so I can start trying to sell it. I think it would be a great addition to what we already do.

Thanks so much

Thanks Jen
Good to know. I have been using the Roland material and it has been ok but wanted to get thoughts on other material out there as well
What is the difference between the roland and fellers? Quality wise?

Thanks
Teresa

Fellers Monet hmm stuff is cheap but aint that a Matte?
Last time I used Matte canvas on Roland, looked like crap.

So far magic been my fav. and roland is to stiff when stretching in my opinion

The Monet Canvas from Neschen (available at fellers) is glossy. I have used Rolands material and the Monet canvas and the Monet is by far superior in quality. The prints look amazing and our customers have been very happy with the results.
