Product materials our customers can pick

In the product dropdown lists you can pick the material and size of your choice. The following options are available for individualization:

• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes referred to as a an art print on plexiglass, makes the original work of art into brilliant home décor and is a distinct alternative to canvas and aluminidum dibond prints. Your work of art is being made with the help of state-of-the-art UV print machines. The major advantage of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts as well as granular image details will be more identifiable with the help of the very subtle gradation.
• Canvas: The UV printed canvas material applied on a wood frame. The advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without the help of extra wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for all kinds of walls.
• Aluminium print (aluminium dibond): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with a true effect of depth - for a modern look and a non-reflective surface. For the Direct Aluminium Dibond option, we print your favorite artpiece right on the surface of the aluminum.
• The poster print (canvas material): The poster print is a UV printed canvas with a nice surface texture, that reminds the actual artwork. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the work of art to facilitate the framing.
