Please keep in mind, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm round about the work of art in order to facilitate the framing.

Canvas prints are suited for all types of walls in your house.
• Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, which is often described as a print on plexiglass, changes your favorite original artwork into wall decoration. Moreover, the acrylic glass art print offers a distinct alternative option to canvas or aluminium dibond fine art prints. The artwork is custom-made with modern UV direct printing machines. This makes vibrant and deep colors. The great upside of an acrylic glass print is that contrasts plus image details become visible with the help of the fine tonal gradation.

The bright & white parts of the artwork shine with a silky gloss, however without the glare. The colors are luminous and bright in the highest definition, the fine details are very clear.
