Canvas transfer prints involve mounting a pre-published print or poster image onto a canvas surface through the application of heat. The poster or paper print is covered in a layer of textured film that lifts the image from the paper and this film is then heat-sealed onto the surface of the canvas. A protective coating is put on top and this is then placed in a specialised heated vacuum press to ensure the image forms a permanent bond with the canvas.

When the transfer process has been completed, the canvas is stretched around a wooden framework so that it is ready-to-hang.

Giclée Box Canvas Prints (Box Canvas ready to hang)

Our canvases have been specially designed and developed for Fine Art digital printing.

Each is produced to order on a specially formulated synthetic canvas material that maximises the print quality through fine definition and maximises the longevity of the colour. We have chosen a very fine mesh synthetic material that is ideally suited to the detail required for this type of print. We believe the material is much more stable than a natural fibre, and much finer.

The material is stretched over a solid 2" pine stretcher frame and for additional strength and security just below the fabric we affix a 3mm sheet of MDF. This protects the surface of the print and ensures that the frame remains rigid so that it won't twist.
