Canvas Transfers Any Success With Liebermans

[jamesj]

Has anyone had success with the canvas transfers offered by Liebermans. How is the quality compared to Old Grange Graphics. Thanks for any response.

Welcome to the G, James.

I have ordered transfers from Liebermans and I am happy with the quality. If you have them stretch it though, be aware that they use "MDF" for their frame. I prefer to stretch myself for that reason and also shipping is cheaper.

Welcome to the G!

I do my own transfers. It is really not that difficult if you have a heat press.

I've done a canvas transfer with Liebermans. It was an abstract, and it came out really well. I also had them stretch it for me. The added charge of stretching is so much less than I would charge to do it here in the shop, it's a no-brainer.

At this ol' company, we try not to get too set in our ways...

We no longer use MDF on our stretched transfers, having gotten reports of it warping over time.

All our bars are now upgraded to pine -- we've also learned it presents a better look and feel to our customer -- j paul, we're with you! Wish you'd told me in the first place!

Only stating the facts as I new them back in May, Bruce. Glad to know that you now use pine instead of MDF. This is the first I've heard of it however. Maybe I missed it, but I don't believe I got any information regarding that change from Lieberman's. Wish you told me ;)!
