Which would be your preferred art print material?

We offer a range of various sizes and materials for every product. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:

• Printed poster on canvas material: The Artprinta poster is a printed flat canvas paper with a slightly roughened surface structure. The poster print is excellently designed for framing the art replica with a personal frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm round about the artwork in order to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
• Metal print (aluminium dibond): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with an impressive effect of depth. For your Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the favorite work of art on the aluminium white-primed surface. The bright & white parts of the original artwork shimmer with a silk gloss, however without any glare.
• The canvas print: The printed canvas, not to be mistaken with a canvas painting, is a digital replica printed from an industrial printer. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang your Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suited for all types of walls.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy print on acrylic glass, often denoted as a plexiglass print, will change your favorite original artwork into brilliant décor. The artwork is manufactured thanks to the help of modern UV printing technology. It makes impressive and rich color tones. The major upside of an acrylic glass fine art copy is that contrasts and also minor artwork details become more visible because of the precise tonal gradation of the picture. Our acrylic glass protects your custom art print against light and external influences for between 4 and 6 decades.
