Art print materials that you can select:

For every art print we offer different materials & sizes. Pick your favorite size and material among the following options:

• Aluminium dibond print (metal): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an impressive depth. For your Aluminium Dibond print, we print the artpiece on the aluminium surface. Colors are bright and luminous in the highest definition, fine details of the print are crisp and clear, and there’s a matte look you can literally feel.
• Print on glossy acrylic glass: An acrylic glass print, often described as a UV print on plexiglass, makes the original into stunning wall decoration and is a distinct alternative option to dibond and canvas fine art replicas. The artwork is being printed with the help of state-of-the-art UV print technology. This makes sharp and rich colors. The major advantage of a plexiglass fine art print is that contrasts and minor image details will be more visible with the help of the very fine gradation of the picture.
• The poster print (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed canvas with a nice surface structure, that reminds the actual artwork. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin between 2-6cm around the print in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas: A canvas print, which shall not be confused with a canvas painting, is a digital replica applied on a canvas. It makes the special effect of three dimensionality. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up your Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. That is why, canvas prints are suited for any kind of wall.
