What is a Canvas Transfer?

The process of taking a poster or photograph and transferring it with an emulsion to a sheet of prepared canvas. This techniques gives the poster or photograph the illusion of being painted on canvas. (Several techniques can also be applied that can give either an aged/cracked look or simulate brushstrokes).

A process by which the ink from a print-say, on paper-is actually lifted off the paper surface in a chemical bath and then applied to a piece of canvas. 

Advances in canvas printing also allows for the replication of the artist's brush stroke, further enhancing the quality of reproduction. The artist can further enhance a canvas print by doing additional work with oil or acrylic paints directly onto the canvas.

Canvas transfers typically sell in the same price range as a lithograph artist proof. In many instances a canvas transfer looks and feels like an original and may require no frame Or;

Canvas Transfers gives you the opportunity to digitally transfer any image onto canvas, frame it, and hang it on your wall. All of this is possible for one low price.

Canvas Transfers are available in the following sizes: 8 x 10, 12 x 16, 16 x 20, 20 x 24, 24 x 36

Guidelines for Canvas Transfers

Certain Guidelines should be reviewed to ensure complete satisfaction from your Canvas Transfer reproduction. To ensure the best reproduction possible, the condition of the original photograph is critical. The original photograph should be a minimum print size of 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and a maximum of 8" x 10".

Centered Objects - Ideally, the subjects being reproduced should be centered on your original photograph. As with most photographic enlargements, Canvas Transfers may require "positioning" or "cropping." If the Subject(s) in a picture are not centered, portions of the main subject may be lost when reproduced.
 
Contrast - Avoid excessive light or dark photographs.
Electronic Prints - Prints with an "Electronic Print" warning will not reproduce well.
 
Color Photocopies - Color Copies may not reproduce well on canvas.
 
High Speed Film - Prints shot with high-speed film greater than ASA 200 may promote graininess and may not reproduce well on canvas.
 
Copyright Protected Prints - Prints displaying any of the following warnings will be rejected without express written consent: "Do Not Reproduce, Do Not Copy, Copyright Protected Image, Etc..." Reproduction consent forms are available.
