i assume you mean to ask how to transfer images on to canvas, yeah?
rub 'mineral spirits' on the back of your photocopy or laser print. ie, make sure the paper is flat onto the canvas, and use a rag slightly soaked with mineral spirits. administer enogh pressure so that the ink adheres well.
canvas is rough though, this technigue works best on smoother surfaces. to be quite honest, i've never tried it on canvas. i would assume it should work, though details would not come out well on raw canvas. but works real well on all sorts of paper.

you might try using an acrylic medium.
1. Coat an area of the canvas with the medium.2.Place photocopy on area - Face down.
3. Let dry.
4. Scrub the paper off with water.
5. Fin.

thanks for the tips.
i used the old colorless blender from design markers, but when they changed the packaging the new blender didn't work. The old blender was great for small detailed transfers.
