There was a time when in order to copy high quality images on canvas, it was necessary to hire an artist who could copy the canvas onto another canvas. Photos could only be transferred to the canvas by a professional who specialized in printing photographs for the press. However, with modern technology, you can print to canvas yourself. You can achieve high quality canvas prints with good computer programs, the canvas itself, the printer, and whatever you intend to print.
