Select the item material you would like to have

The product dropdown menu ofers you the opportunity to pick the material and size of your choice. Hence, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Canvas: The canvas print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wood stretcher. Hanging your canvas print: Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang your Canvas print without the support of extra wall-mounts. Therefore, a canvas print is suitable for all kinds of walls in your home.
• Poster print on canvas material: A poster is a UV printed flat canvas paper with a slight finish on the surface. It is best suited for placing your fine art print in a special frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin between 2 - 6cm round about the artwork in order to facilitate the framing.
• Printed acrylic glass (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, often referenced as a UV print on plexiglass, changes your favorite original into brilliant décor. Above all, the acrylic glass fine art print is a great alternative option to canvas and aluminidum dibond prints. The work of art is custom-made with state-of-the-art UV direct print machines. With an acrylic glass art print contrasts plus minor details will be more recognizeable thanks to the very subtle gradation of the print.
• Metal print (aluminium dibond): This is a metal print made on aluminium dibond material with a true depth effect. The Aluminium Dibond Print is the ideal introduction to fine art replicas on aluminum. For our Aluminium Dibond print, we print the artpiece on the aluminium composite white-primed surface. The bright and white parts of the artwork shine with a silky gloss, however without glare. The colors are luminous, details of the print are crisp and clear. The direct print on aluminium is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is an extremely contemporary way to display art prints, as it puts the viewer’s attention on the replica of the artwork.

Because all fine art prints are printed and processed by hand, there may as well be slight differences in the motif's exact position and the size.
