For the first time, I'm going to print a few pictures in the 9060cm format (about 3523"). I have a choice between different kind of process (=printing + framing), including different kind of papers for the process using them. Is it possible to have simulations of the final rendering to compare the possibilities and pick the one I want ?
I know it is possible to soft-proof different kind of printed paper but what about alternative support, such as :
- Canvas
- Aluminium (Dibond®)
- Plexiglass
- Plastic (forex)
- Carton
- ...
Moreover, some support are very sensitive to lighting, so light position should probably be simulated too.

By "soft-proofing", I mean having a simulation of what an observer will see once the support is hanged on a wall.
