Begin by checking to make sure the artwork or document is free from errors. Also, you may have to adjust color, crop, size, brightness, or other photo properties.
Open your printer's software. If your printer does not come with extra software, go to the print menu of whatever image software you're using and adjust quality settings there.
Adjust the quality setting to fine, best or photo quality whichever is the best one for the printer. If you know how to adjust the resolution, make sure it is between 300 and 600 dpi. If not, just make sure the picture is not blurry or pixelated.
Adjust the paper quality settings. Choose canvas paper or heavy card stock. This will make the setting of the printer appropriate for printing on the canvas paper. Also, double check the layout of the print, whether it is landscape or portrait.
Save your work. You may want to create a separate file to save the printing settings.
Place the sheet of canvas in the empty paper tray. Check to see if it is clean and free from scratches and blemishes. Make sure the canvas texture is facing up. The catch tray should be be ready to receive the print.
Click on print preview to see how the print will look.
Click print. If the paper does not go through, do not force it, just let the printer do its job.
