What is the difference between an inkjet print on canvas and a canvas transfer?
An inkjet print on canvas is made using an image in digital format and printing it directly onto canvas. This is what is known as a giclĂ©e on canvas. The name is derived from the French gicler, meaning “to spray”, as the inkjet printer sprays ink onto the printed surface. A traditional canvas transfer takes an existing physical print, lifts the ink off of its paper backing chemically with a special film or laminate, transferred to a canvas, and fixed in place with a hot press. To determine which method best suits your needs, consider the following factors.
