What is Canvas Transfer?
Canvas transfer is a three step process. The first step is to apply a non reflective, durable and UV – blocking laminate finish to the artwork so that it is protected from water damage and fading. After the first step, the second step is to lift the image from the paper and transfer it to 100% cotton, acrylic primed duck canvas. Once the image is transferred to the canvas, the canvas is then stretched to fit on to a custom cut wooden frame. They are also called stretcher bars. The third step of the process is to finish the edges of the frame with a premium black fabric tape. The transformed artwork is turned to a hand stretched and light weighted canvas that retains the original texture of a canvas. The art masterpiece can be hung on a wall with or without a picture frame.
