					<description>Hi Christine. I'm  not sure... That was exactly my challenge: printing something larger than my printer allowed. 

I know that there are online companies out there who print custom stuff on canvas and mail it to you. A Google search should probably give you a few names (I can't remember those I found so long ago). They're not cheap though.

For a more handmade solution, I guess, I would see if Fredrix offers the print canvas product in a larger format (I think they do, but I'm not sure), and then I'd ask local printing companies if they can print your design on the print canvas.

Looking at the ad currently displayed at the bottom of this post, it seems that some printer manufacturers (Hewlett Packard and Epson) have come up with canvas products. I'd probably check those out too.

Good luck... OjO : [Content from mafemaria.com]</description>

					<description>I am thinking of doing a scrapbook page I made for a friend of mine onto canvas as a Christmas present for her but I would like to make it as a 12x12.  Any suggestions as to how to make this in the correct size? OjO : [Content from mafemaria.com]</description>

					<description>Ha!... well, the printer in which I tried this was a plain inkjet Canon... The typical printer anyone has at home (not even special for photos). I'm sure that your fairly nice HP will be totally up to standards.

At the time when I did this experiment, I found the print canvas at my local art store. If you're in the U.S., I think this store is equivalent to Michael's. But I also found that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F901WR-Inkjet-Canvas-8-5-Sheets%2Fdp%2FB0018V6ODM%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dhome-garden%26qid%3D1222009508%26sr%3D8-2&amp;tag=mafmar-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Amazon carried it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=mafmar-20&amp;#38;l=ur2&amp;#38;o=1&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;. An internet search showed me several results. I bet you'll be able to find a reputable online outlet selling it. In fact, for what I can tell, you'll find &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fineartinkjetpaper.com/%C3%82%E2%80%A2-fredrix-canvas-c-542.html?gclid=CJPvubWV7ZUCFSaiiQodcRDxeA&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;way more options of the product&lt;/a&gt; online.

Good luck with your project! OjO : [Content from mafemaria.com]</description>

					<description>Very helpful and interesting blog...  I'm thinking of tyring to make my own Christmas presents this year using digital photos of the grandkids.  I'm still looking for a vendor for the &quot;Print Canvas by Fredrix&quot; you mentioned, but I had one other question:  What kind of printer did you use?  I have a fairly nice HP but I'm not sure if it is up to the standards you're using...  Any thoughts or advice you could give would be greatly appreciated!  Vaya con Dios!

					<description>I want to recommend another product, Lazertran. It's $20 for 10 sheets so that is only $2 per sheet(9x12) and they have large sizes also. I'd be curious if you tried it and posted your results here. OjO : [Content from mafemaria.com]</description>

					<description>I haven't come across any transfer methods to metal. Of course, I haven't looked for them either... Interesting question, though! OjO : [Content from mafemaria.com]</description>

					<description>I am interested in transferring digital JPEG images of my paintings on to metal surfaces i.e cabinet door etc.

Is there a process or software that can help me achieve that? OjO : [Content from mafemaria.com]</description>

					<description>Sarah,
Sorry it took me a while to reply.

For a Contact transfer, you make a color photocopy of the original image. Then you apply contact paper over it (sticky side of contact facing right side of photocopy). You burnish it very well, and then soak it in warm water for a few minutes. After say 5 minutes, you can start peeling and rubbing the paper off the contact. This step takes a while. You take it as far as you can attempting to remove the &quot;white&quot; without scratching the image. Keep it wet to easy the removal of the paper.

This is where I stopped. I decided that mounting the contact transparency over canvas would look weird. The contact transfer looks plastic, and I thought would look better mounted on a more consistent / solid medium (e.g. wood, foam board, etc). OjO : [Content from mafemaria.com]</description>
