It is perfectly suited for putting your art replica with the help of a customized frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin 2 - 6cm around the work of art to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Canvas print: A UV printed canvas material mounted on a wood frame. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which means that it is easy to hang up your Canvas print without the help of additional wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
• Acrylic glass print: An acrylic glass print, which is sometimes labelled as a print on plexiglass, will change the artwork into décor. Your favorite artwork will be made with modern UV direct print machines. The effect of this are deep and vivid colors. The major upside of a plexiglass art print is that contrasts plus smaller details will be more exposed because of the fine gradation of the picture. The plexiglass with real glass coating protects your custom fine art print against light and external influences for many decades.

For the Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your chosen artwork onto the aluminium composite surface. The bright & white sections of the artwork shine with a silky gloss, however without any glare. This print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is an extremely modern way to display fine art prints, as it puts the viewer’s attention on the artwork.
