Order the material of your choice
For every product we offer different sizes and materials. That is why, we allow you to choose among the following options:
- Metal print (aluminium dibond): This is a metal print made on aluminium dibond material with an impressive depth effect. Colors are luminous and vivid, the fine details appear very clear, and there’s a matte look you can literally feel.
- Poster (canvas material): Our poster print is a UV printed cotton canvas paper with a slightly rough finish on the surface. It is best designed for putting the fine art print in a special frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6 cm round about the work of art to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
- Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is often labelled as a UV print on plexiglass, makes the original into beautiful wall décor. The artwork is manufactured with the help of state-of-the-art UV direct printing technology.
- The canvas print: A canvas print, not to be confused with a painting on a canvas, is a digital replica printed from a UV direct printer. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy and straightforward to hang the Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for all kinds of walls.
Important legal note: We try our best in order to describe our art products as exact as possible and to demonstrate them visually. Please bear in mind that the colors of the printed materials, as well as the printing might vary to a certain extent from the presentation on your device's monitor. Depending on your screen settings and the quality of the surface, not all colors are printed as exactly as the digital version on this website. Since all the fine art prints are printed and processed manually, there may as well be slight differences in the exact position and the size of the motif.
