How They Are Made...
The first step is to coat the print with a special acrylic utilizing a brush or spray. This special formula actually grabs the ink. After the drying process this separated ink is lifted or separated from the paper and transferred to the cotton canvas. After drying the resulting ink film is then carefully separated from the paper and embedded into high quality canvas. The end result, is a picture that looka like an original oil painting with a rich canvas texture. They are then stretched on a custom wood frame.
Any border areas or decorative text that appear on the paper print will not appear on the canvas transfer version, just the actual image.
