How does a poster become a canvas print?

        A canvas reproduction can be made from any print, poster or photograph. First, the print is coated, via spray or brush with a special acrylic that seizes the ink. After drying, the resulting ink film is then carefully separated from the paper and embedded into high quality canvas. After this unique process, the picture has an image true to the original painting with a lustrous oil sheen and rich canvas texture. 

The End Result:

        We stretch all of our canvas transfers onto stretcher bars unless otherwise specified by the customer.  When we stretch, we normally cut custom bars to the size of the image after transfer, which can be slightly different from the original size.  Please keep in mind that all canvas transfers are custom made for each customer and are non-refundable items. All canvas transfers take 3 to 4 weeks.  Please note:  Standard stretched transfers are stapled on the side unless the gallery or museum wrap option is chosen when ordering.

We use only the finest quality materials and craftsmanship!

• Finest Fabric - Grade A artist's canvas, carefully inspected piece by piece.
  • Not the cheap materials used in many imports and lesser studios.

   

• Professional stretching - with custom grooved and tapered molding.
  • Not cheap wood of inconsistent form and quality.

  The following options are available when ordering canvas transfers:

  Standard Stretched: The canvas transfer is placed on stretcher bars, and the framing staples are on the side.   The print is shipped flat in a box.
  Unstretched: The unstretched canvas transfer is rolled into a tube for shipping.
  Gallery Wrap: This is the same as Museum Wrap, except the image is wrapped around the sides of the stretcher bars and stapled on the back.
  Museum Wrap: The canvas is stretched on stretcher bars and attached with staples on the back instead of the sides.
  Brush Strokes: To give the canvas an authentic look, the canvas is hand-enhanced by an artist who applies clear acrylic brush strokes in the pattern of the original piece. Brushstrokes are most appropriate for paintings in the impressionist style and similar pieces.
  Aging & Cracking: The canvas is chemically altered to appear aged and cracked. This option is especially effective to create the look of antique art. Please allow an additional 3-4 weeks for this process.  Please note that this process is not available on gallery wrap stretched canvas.
