I have an image I have been asked to print A1, so I want to make sure it comes out well. The image itself isn't a photograph as such (it's an image generated randomly from a photograph of a stained glass window), but I thought that you folks might have an idea of somewhere sufficiently friendly where I could go and actually have a chat about printing on alternative materials? It was suggested to me to use linen, but I'd rather see how it holds colour myself first.

Obviously colour will be an important factor in choosing material, has anyone got any suggestions themselves?

Ha! I am a fan of Richter but I wasn't aware of this particular work until afterwards. If it makes any conceptual difference, I took photographs of stained glass windows, and used a computer to randomly extract the colours and displace them on a grid. So perhaps it's a little bit different? :P

Do Gunns print on materials other than the usual paper? I want to do something a little bit different, plus I'm not sure if paper would actually suit the image.

Hey Daddio, give Steve (Links/references above!) a ring, he's the chap I used for the prints last year.

I'll be back in Dublin on Friday, let me know if you want me to pop in - You could run some tests on the A3 printer you have in the studio if you had time.

Do you specifically want to run it on a fabric?
