That’s ok because I prefer canvas for big prints anyway, I like that painterly effect. I never really liked big prints on photo or regular paper. Basically it looks like a highly detailed painting, and I love the colors.

I recently made three really big prints (same size effectively as yours) on canvas from a medium format film scan, a 16MP m43 file, and an iPhone 6s 12MP 1/3” sensor.

They all look good, and do their job. At typical viewing distances it is impossible to discern any difference in origin.

What conclusions can be drawn from this regarding canvas prints or sensor performance I leave to others.
