Anyone know if this will work on a canvas? I want to collect kids thumbprints on a canvas for an art project. Thanks!

What a cute idea! Pigment inks transfer well to canvas and you will get the best results with 100% cotton canvas. You may have to press their little thumbs onto the surface with a little more pressure to optimize their print. Best wishes and hug them all for me! Lani Cruz 12 Hugs Children's Centers 650-355-8964

I pulled one of the stickers off from the painted wall in my granddaughter's room, and stuck it on a wall that we have wallpapered in another room. It worked just fine. The only thing I could see that might be a problem would be if you have wallpaper that is "flocked" or has designs in it that stick up from the paper itself. This item needs to be pressed flat against a particular surface. Hope that helps!

Never tried it on canvas. I used it on a very old cotton tablecloth. It worked great I remember my mom using this dye all the time when I was young. This product has been around forever. It I were you I would sure give it a try!

I would plenty heavy to hold stretched canvases, I had dishes in mine in our travel travel trailer and it worked great. I am an artist also, I have stretched canvases of that size. Tomorrow (it is 9:30 PM my time) I will put some canvases in mine and get back to you in the AM as to how that works out, OK?

Actually, yes it can. In fact I first printed on canvas and then used oil paint to highlight different areas. After seeing the results, I went ahead and fully painted on the canvas with a different project. Honestly I can barely see the difference between this and real canvas.

I HAVED USED IT ON ALLTYPE OF CANVAS NO PROBLEM. WHEN PUTTING IT ON MAKE SURE YOU USE THE SAME AMOUNT ON YOUR BRUSH SO IT WILL LOOK THE SAME WHEN IT DRIES. I would think it would be worth the try if not it would be costly to replace it and it would have to be better than it is now.

Walmart discontinued this a few years ago. You have to buy them through Amazon or the like. I have one listed for sale on Amazon right now. Its used but in great condition. I buy them then strip them down and replace any worn parts, then wash the canvas and rebuild them before listing. 1dad-n-2boys

I would only say, proceed at your own risk. This printer is primarily made for paper and photographic paper. There are larger printer/plotters from Epson and other brands that are rated for printing on canvas and other substrates...and, of course, they are much more expensive. If this is a rare, one- or two-off project, you may do better to find a local or online vendor that specializes in printing on fabric or canvas - there are hundreds of them listed on the web. That way you don't risk ruining your own printer. If you intend on printing on fabric routinely, you may want to invest or lease a much larger printer/plotter. But my recommendation would be to outsource it to a qualified vendor first who has the proper equipment.

Why 2 lbs.? Is the painting framed? If you hot glue the d ring to the back of the canvas board, then the question might become, is the paper on the back of the canvas board strong enough, or will the paper separate from the board? Sounds a bit risky. It will hold for a while. If you frame the canvas board, then you will have a way to hang the art. There is probably a pre made frame that will fit your canvas board, and not be terribly expensive. If the canvas board is temporary, like something for a child's play, the hot glue solution should work. I hope this helps.

Yes, you are correct. I am still using this for painting 30 x 40 canvas by leaning the canvas on the top shelf and using the pencil drawer to hold the canvas on the bottom. This fits my space well so is working for me, but I am not painting on paper.

I haven't actually used this on canvas, but I think they would work fine. They work on cotton fabric just fine, even the thicker fabric for the inkjet printers with the iron on stuff.

I have used this product on various canvas items with good results. You can apply with a handheld spray bottle or with a garden sprayer. One coat does well. If you choose the spray bottle method on a tent you may develop a very superior handshake capability once your hand and arm muscles recover!

I don't think I would try it on canvas. I think it would spot or stain your bag. Hope this helps

Don't know as I have never tried it to my recollection. I have used it on canvas where it works like a champ. Jack

It is not desighed to print on canvas. If I remember correctly the upper limit on media thichness is 11.8 mils . I don't think you will find canvas that thin to experiment with. Hope this helps.

It should work. Just make sure you test it first on a similar fabric and be careful that you don't accidentally get it on your fingers and stain surrounding parts. That's happened to me so I had to create a design to improvise and cover it. Wait for the paint to dry before handling it and when dry iron it using a press cloth to set it. I have used it on duck canvas fabric just like denim. Great results. Just be careful as I said not to contaminate other areas of the fabric because it will be hard to remove.
