I received some canvas for printing. I wanted to try it, but don't know what settings to use.
I print on a Epson Stylus R2400.
Anyone have experience with this?

I did some printing on canvas a while ago although I used the Epson R1800 printer.
The canvas didn't want to feed properly by itself so I stuck it on a sheet of scrap 13x19 inch photo paper. Other than that, use the icc profile for the canvas (usually available on the paper manufacturers website) and also make sure you set the paper type to what the manufacturer recommends. In my case I think they recommended heavy weight matte but I'm not 100% sure right now.

I wrote an article about my experience with canvas printing if you want to have a look:

You can get a canvas roll that works on the Epson R2400. I have a R2400, and it works well. Try this site to order the product.
