The Differences in Prints, Acrylics, Metals & Canvases
Prints
Photos brought to life on a Kodak RA-4 color printer will be on your chosen size of paper with white borders. The best option for those who would like to frame their print themselves or add photos to an album.
Acrylic Prints
Acrylic printing is the crown jewel of photo display. the general acrylic name is often referred to as “plexiglass” or “Face-Mounting”. The face mount process is a more difficult process and more expensive, but well worth it. Here’s a look at a 1/4″ acrylic face mount showing the acrylic face and dibond backer with the print sandwiched in between.
Metal
Metal Printing is perfect for mounting your high quality image or artwork in full color on a light, sturdy aluminum sheet. Metal printing includes full color digital printing. Consider aluminum printing when looking for an economical way to showcase your artwork without a frame, but still come across as a professional print. Perfect for those who want to hang their prints right away upon delivery.
Canvas
canvas prints are where refined digital printing meets premium canvas fabric that's stretched over a wooden frame. Color seeps into cloth made with cotton fibers while it remains on the surface of synthetic polyester strands. A great option for a more classical vibe. Ready to hang immediately.
