Canvas Transfers: Separating the Best from the Rest

When it Comes to Canvas Transfers,
Don't Settle for Less

These days, there’s a lot of wall art being marketed as “canvas transfer,” but it’s not all of the same quality. True canvas transfers are made by transferring images from a paper print and permanently embedding them into artist-grade canvas. This process seals and preserves the images in acrylic, which lends them a deep, lustrous texture that's quite similar to what you'd find in original oil paintings.

Canvas transfer knock-offs, on the other hand, are just paper prints that have been laminated to canvas. This shortcut method results in a far less textured artwork that is nowhere near as beautiful and which will fade over time.

When you're shopping for quality canvas art, don’t be fooled into buying a lesser product. Authentic canvas transfers offer far superior quality, beauty and longevity.

At ArtSelect.com, you'll find only the highest-quality authentic canvas transfers. We offer a wide range of subjects, artists and styles, including:
