I don't think you indicate what diameter of pipe but how about trying the
following:
(1) Tack the artwork to the pipe with some magic tape.
(2) Get some flexible brass shim sheet and cut a piece that wraps around the
pipe covering the artwork.
(3) Slide on multiple jubilee hose clips butted together and tighten them
down to pressure the artwork via the brass.
(4) Heat the copper pipe up with a blowtorch for a couple of minutes.
(5) Let pipe cool
(6) Disassemble
(7) Cross fingers
(8) Soak off artwork paper
Alternatively try spray on photoresist?

John

Tape the artwork to the copper, with something to keep it from
twisting (tape on outsides?)
Heat and roll against pressure.
Let cool.
May work.
