Get through more work in less timeUnique bi-directional printing is made easy by Canon’s one inch wide high-density print head. Featuring 7,680 nozzles (1,280 per colour) the print head enables high resolution printing over a wide area in a single pass, saving time and ensuring absolute colour stability. And with Canon’s advanced MicroFine droplet Technology™ ejecting more drops, more quickly, print times are accelerated even further.


UV resistant inks ensure lasting imagesFor outdoor media and prints exposed to bright lights, durability is a must. The W6400 uses full-colour, UV static, fade free pigment inks. The result is unsurpassed colour fastness and bright, vivid images that look as good as the original, and stay that way.


Borderless printing brings images to lifeNothing is more impactful than full-bleed printing, especially for photographic work. The W6400 supports fast, mess-free output to all four edges on 10”x12”, 8”x10” and B2 and B3 posters and 6-colour printing process ensures enhanced colour precision and tonal depth. Large capacity ink tanks and continuous ink supply are perfect for extra-long printing and ink tanks can be replaced during printing without affecting print quality.


Productive network support and flexibilityThe W6400 supports both Mac and Windows environments, fitting seamlessly into your network and enhancing its value. With an output plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and HDI Drivers for AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, this new printer offers greater usability. Plus Canon’s NetSpot® Suite software enables integration management of every printer on your network.

How to Stretch Canvas - Part 2

www.choosecanvas.com


5. Fold one side of the canvas over one of the shorter frame rails and then attach a canvas tack at the center of the outside edge of that rail.



6. At the opposite side, use canvas pliers (which are similar to regular pliers except they have a broader gripping area) to grip the canvas at mid-rail. It may be helpful for you to set the frame upright while doing this. With a firm grip, pull the canvas until a straight crease is formed to the tacked end. While keeping tension on the canvas, insert another tack at the center edge of the rail, just like the other side. Note that you may also use a staple gun/staples instead of tacks. (The Arrow JT-21 is easy to use.)








7. Move to the next frame rail (one of the longer ones) and repeat steps 5 and 6. As you do, you will notice a triangular canvas crease as you attach the third side and then a diamond-shaped crease when the fourth tack is attached on the remaining mid-rail.


8. Now, place temporary tacks at all four corners. Starting with the center of one of the long rails, grip the canvas tightly with the pliers and fasten tacks at 2″ intervals. Repeat with several tacks in both directions (from center) and then switch to the opposite side and repeat this process. Continue working from the center until both long sides are completely tacked down to all but one inch from each corner, stretching the canvas evenly as you proceed.
