Have tried a lot of canvases and IMHO Lyve is one of the coarser ones, in spite of the fact that BC sometimes refers to it as smooth. Up a notch from that is Breathing Color's 800M, and it's also a lot cheaper. The one roll of Daguerre I have is about as coarse as 800M, but with a more randomized texture that might give the impression of being "coarse" when compared to the more symmetrical texture of most inkjet canvases.
Lexjet SSMC is what I call smooth, and Fredrix 777 is what I call very smooth.
Haven't seen anything coarser than 800M or Daguerre. Inkjet technology puts a cap on how coarse a canvas can be, there can't be too much peak-to-valley variation.
Just looked at a sample that came with 8300 printer. Canon "Water Resistant Matte Canvas" is fairly coarse with the kind of texture that I associate with artist canvas, also very heavy. Have never used it.
The thing about all the canvases is, the specific texture for a particular canvas varies a lot from batch to batch, you never know quite what you're going to get, and sometimes there are radical changes. My Daguerre roll is over a year old and I would anticipate a new one would have a different texture in that time.
Of course the ironic thing is that you don't usually see very much canvas texture on oil paintings! For a really "old world" canvas surface, print on any old thing and have at it with Z-gel! You won't fool any oil painters with that stuff, but John Q. Public loves it.
