>>What is the acceptable method of profiling canvas using the
Spyder3Print system?

That depends on the coating; some are gloss, others are matte, some  
have a reduced gamut, or low d-max, and require some editing for most  
pleasing results.

 >>Will the colorimeter work properly on the uneven weave of the canvas
and give the best profiling data?

Typically it's fine. Picky users may choose to read twice, and average  
the measurement sets. Increasing the saturation a bit can help  
compensate for texture. If you are going to coat the canvas, doing  
that to the target prints before measuring makes sense.
