Possible product material choices
The product dropdown menu gives you the opportunity to pick your individual material and size. The following options are available for individualization:
- Poster (canvas material): Our poster is a printed canvas paper with a slightly rough finish on the surface. The print poster is best used for putting the art copy in a customized frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of approximately 2-6 cm round about the print to facilitate the framing.
- The canvas print: A UV printed canvas material applied on a wooden frame. In addition to that, a canvas print makes a nice, pleasing ambience. How do I hang a canvas on the wall? Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, meaning that it is easy and straightforward to hang your Canvas print without extra wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
- Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): A glossy acrylic glass print, which is sometimes denoted as a plexiglass print, will change the original work of art into beautiful décor and is a great alternative to canvas and aluminidum dibond fine art prints.
- Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true effect of depth. For your Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print your selected artpiece on the aluminium surface. The colors of the print are bright and vivid in the highest definition, details of the print appear crisp and clear, and you can really notice the matte appearance. The direct print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is an extremely stylish way to showcase art, since it draws focus on the artwork.

The man is a shell collector, in an age when foreign trade opened up a wide world of natural curiosities. His wife holds a balance, symbolizing the virtue of temperance. De Keyser was one of the leading portraitists in Amsterdam during the 1620s and 1630s. He is best known for small full-length portraits, but he also painted large group portraits and small bust- and half-length portraits.
