I must admit feeling quite disapointed tonight, Had back today my first actually printed work back from the printers. It looks really plastic and not what I was after at all, (I used a UK printer company for this, but won't name them and slag them off) the worst thing is is the paintings is for my brother who's forked out �70 for a 16" x 24" on stretcher canvas print.

Really feel guilty now in giving it to him and quite dissalusioned as had rather hoped to maybe make selling digital art a business. Just not sure people will pay for canvas prints with this plastic look.

What do professional artists here print onto and if anyone knew of a company to recommend in the UK that they are pleased with the results.

It was a oil painting so was after a nice painterly look, more like it was actually a print. Is that possible?
Wht papers work best for what as I paint Oils watercolours and fractual abstract art.

Ask to see samples of their different coatings... Do they offer matte finishes?

you're not going to get that textured oil paint look with print

a print will always be a print..

Out of curiosity why are you trying to make digital look like oil? Why not print it onto high quality paper or simply create an oil painting with oils?
