     Gallery wrap=add 1.25" on all 4 sides of actual picture content AND
    add 2" more of white space on all 4 sides so there's enough room for stapling.
Profile sb sRGBIEC61966-2.1 at the computer.
Make test strips for fine adjustments. (upping blues and gamma )
Print Canvas using Pro9800 7800Canvas_PK

Making a Canvas Stretching Frame
Measure the finished FACE of the print and cut frame to those lengths with
45 degree angles using electric Miter (chop) saw


Review "How to make a Chop"

For Canvas, place with rabbit up so it lies flat

Review  "How to Thumbnail"1. 1.Thumbnail frames in center of 45 degree slanty part
2. Place with rabbit facing out so it can cut deep enough  if small frame

 Review "How to Glue"
3. Glue ends (wipe off extra) and drive thumbnails into place

4. Allow frame to dry for 3+ hours
 

Stretching the Canvas on the Frame

Sand corners lightly
Locate the Bottom edge of the print (rem-.625" is extra to wrap around the frame)
Fold and crease at that edge.

 Putting a weight on the excess helps.
