It was made for printing photos and could also do wide-format printing. It did a fabulous job. I recently replaced it though as it was damaged in a move. They no longer make this one, so I bought the one they recommended as a replacement (Expression Photo HD XP-15000 Wide-Format Printer) and it has done a great job, too!Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10238143056858340975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662817847756891881.post-12647903085612451052019-12-24T00:48:13.984-05:002019-12-24T00:48:13.984-05:00What epson printer do you have because your pictur...What epson printer do you have because your pictures look waaaaay better then mine print out and I have an epson made especially for printing pictures!!!Kbarton0706https://www.blogger.com/profile/10318629333713718485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662817847756891881.post-38445595330719499332015-08-26T15:12:58.726-04:002015-08-26T15:12:58.726-04:00You're welcome, Aishah!

The canvas is basically just being used as your "frame," as you aren't seeing the front part of it - just the sides.

Since it's clear, it can be hard to tell if you're getting it all covered well. :)Kristy Seeleyhttp://seeleyfamilyblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662817847756891881.post-70003660270009469552014-10-25T21:05:28.602-04:002014-10-25T21:05:28.602-04:00Did you do two layer of mod podge on the top of ph...Did you do two layer of mod podge on the top of photo?<br />Marianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662817847756891881.post-64930381932163298802013-12-11T16:06:51.387-05:002013-12-11T16:06:51.387-05:00You're welcome!

I love that these canvases are an affordable option for you! :) Even when I find canvases on sale, it's so much money, so I love doing them myself. I've actually never used the glossy mod podge, so I'm not sure how different the results would be. The matte has a bit of a shine to it - the perfect amount, in my opinion. I would be afraid that with the glossy, you would get a lot of reflection of light on the pictures, which I try to avoid. Ginger may have some insight on this if you would like to reply to her comment, or comment on her blog. :) Thanks so much for visiting!Kristy Seeleyhttp://seeleyfamilyblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662817847756891881.post-54589317281466350732013-12-11T15:45:33.873-05:002013-12-11T15:45:33.873-05:00Love both you ladies canvas's!
