We are located in California, south of San Francisco. Anyone know of a good source to have a poster from our customer transfered to canvas? I would prefer a source west of the Mississippi.
Thanks,
Greg
 
I use Art & Frame Mfg., in Sunland Park, New Mexico. They should have an ad in the back of Decor or PFM magazine.
 
Haddads Fine Arts in Anaheim does a great job too.

Canvas tranfers -- poor

I can tell you it's NOT Lieberman's based on the free sample they offer. Maybe it would have been better if it had the "artist enhanced"
special order option; but what I have received as a basic transfer is not what I want!

Carowind Gallery in Portland. Rita is quick and does an exceptional job, and very reasonable even if you want it stretched. 503-341-3877
 
Thank you everyone. I sent it off to Haddad Fine Arts. They offer Heavy brush strokes and do a good job. We could elect to do it ourselves, but since it has been a while since my last canvas transfer, it is best to not practice on someone else's poster. Always worth sub-contracting specialty work to a pro.
 
I don't get a lot of call fo this, but aren't any of you using canvas texture laminates? I know Bob Carter uses one which he says is as easy as mounting.

Good to know that Haddads offers the service.

Many think that a "print transfer" or "canvas transfer" (and if you listened to the old Seal shpeal) is just gluing a poster down on a canvas then applying a textured laminate.

When done right, the lam in applied to the print, then the whole is soaked and the paper is stripped away. If you hold a good one up at that time; it almost looks like a stained glass window.

This laminate and the ink, is now mounted to the canvas.

Heavy brush stroking sounds good..... but it can also get in the way with weird reflective surfaces. A light touch is actually visually more pleasing. Less is more.

Done right is a talent unto it's own.
