| Each Canvas Transfer is custom made for each customer. During this process your selected art print is heat set onto canvas, wrapped around stretcher bars, and hand painted by artists. |
Selecting a Canvas Transfer
Each art print displayed on FulcrumGallery.com has a button labeled "canvas transfer" (as displayed to
the right). Clicking this button brings you into our online Frame Shop. The first page of our Frame Shop gives you the choice
of configuring a normal framed print or a canvas tranfer. Select the "See it on Canvas" option to preview your selected
print as a canvas transfer.

The Canvas Transfer Process
Producing a canvas transfer is an intensely detailed process, which begins with an art print (ink on paper). Special chemicals are applied which, when dried, form a film that is meticulously separated from the paper and permanently embedded onto a high quality artist canvas. The canvas is then carefully stretched and wrapped around a sturdy, custom-cut inner support frame, called a "stretcher bar". |

Brushstrokes
Then your canvas transfer is embellished with hand applied brushstrokes of transparent acrylics to recreate the additional depth, texture, and richness found on the original artwork. An artist's individual attention makes each canvas transfer a unique piece of art. |

Ready to Hang "Museum Wrap"
Canvas is wrapped around the stretcher bars and stapled on the back. White canvas will show on the sides and no part of the image is lost during this wrapping process. The stretcher bar on the back of the canvas has a saw-tooth hanger, making it ready to hang on your wall. The canvas texture and non-reflective nature of a canvas transfer allows you to hang them under any lighting conditions. |

Durability
Differing from traditional paper art prints, a canvas transfer has a lifespan as long as any original painting or work of art. They can easily be dusted and cleaned with a damp cloth, giving years of use and enjoyment.

Easily Framed
Since there is no need to cover a canvas transfer with glass or to even mat these items, having your canvas transfer framed is easy and cost effective. A good selection of wood mouldings are available for framing your canvas transfer online.
