Canvas transfers get viewers one step closer to seeing the true intent of the artist. While lithographs and prints make for great wall hangings, canvas transfers take the viewer one step closer to the original piece. In the case of transfers, ink is placed onto canvas instead of onto paper.

Canvas is the material through which many of the most talented visual artists have displayed their vision of the world. Canvas transfers are not repainted, as in the case of oil reproductions. The mere fact of using canvas as the medium for holding color, however, gives these pieces an authentic look and feel.

Canvas transfers can also be customized to better reproduce the "real thing." The work of painters who made noticeable use of texture brushstrokes, like Van Gogh, is often diminished when seen in print form. In order to recreate this effect, professional painters manipulate canvas transfers through the addition of acrylic paints which can be formed into the recognizable brush patterns seen on the original paintings. Works in which aging plays a key role in viewer experience, such as Michelangelo's ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, can also be manipulated in canvas transfer form to show such age through the use of specialized chemicals.
