Canvas printing of Fractal files

simulating oil painting?
John Escobedo
But the prints are flat..not textured, so how do
you mean 'simulating oil'. If you draw the texture
it's convincing, but will still look like a print.
Where are you located? (reply be e-mail)

I am an artist with 20 + years in the computer industry. My husband and I
have just started a new biz .... ARTWERX ... which is aimed at working with
traditional and digital artists to print their work. The process is
phenomenal with outstanding results. Our clients use our service as part of
their creative projects - where by they use a combination of computers,
photo's and finished artwork - it's really very simple and every cost
effective!! Once printed on our large format printers, our clients can then
apply oils or other media to the printed canvas or to other subtrates. We
can also help them do low cost, high quality limited editions from their
finished artwork - ON DEMAND!
This collaboration and close communication is much appreciated by our artist
clients who need to work with people who know about art, the technology and
about top quality end products - a service not found in most copy shops!! We
believe in developing the relationship!
So in a nutshell ... we work closely with the artist and help them print
their digital files or artwork photo's straight on to art canvas ready for
oil painting - remember we also do many other substrates. We are currently
printing on canvas to a maximum size of 3 feet by 100 feet !! Cost of
printing on canvas is only $12.00 per sq. foot + shipping via UPS (minimum
order is 4 sq. feet). Canvas is the most expensive - other substrates start
from only $8.00 per sq. foot.
Email me direct if you need full details .... we look forward to helping all
artists break the technology barriers!!

Hi!
You should find any competent professional photo lab should be able to
accept a digitised image on disc [i.e. zip 100 or higher... to get the
resolution it'll have to be a BIG file], which they can output to a
negative, print onto canvas, and then texture-paint with a kind of
matt varnish.

Another GREAT way to do this, is first print your file with an inkjet printer
onto the Copy Trans Hot/Cold Inkjet Transfer Paper sold at
http://www.mho.net/t-tutor
Then use an iron or heat press to transfer onto plain white canvas. This can
be from an art supply or fabric store. The results are fabulous and you can
even add paint over the top. The paper comes in 81/2 x 11 and 11 x 17 and
larger size rolls. It's very durable. I tried scratching with a key and it
didn't phase it. You can cut out individual sections and transfer to as large
a canvas piece as you'd like. Stretch it on a frame and you have a great
finished product. Also great for tote-bags (it's washable), place-mats (they
are water resisitant enough to wipe off) and floor cloths. You're imagination
will go wild when you try this.
