It’s quite common to encounter a beautiful print on walls at luxury hotels, condos, and art galleries. And if you’ve always admired the beauty of those antiques, then photo prints on glass and metal are just the things for you to decorate your house. There’s another option for corporate spaces – back-lit photo prints – that we will discuss towards the end. For now, let’s get started with the other 2 homely options – Big Acrylic photo prints and metal prints on dibond.
Photo Prints on Glass
Photo prints on acrylic glass are crystal clear and super glossy. So, if gloss is your kind of thing, you’ll love the variety at Big acrylic. That said, there are things that you should know about glass printing.
- Glass prints are actually done on acrylic. Acrylic is a kind of Plexiglass with its own sets of benefits – it’s lighter than real glass, it is shatter resistant and scratch resistant, and it’s easier to print on acrylic.
- The colors in acrylic prints are vibrant. They have a good contrast ratio that adds up to clarity and brightness.
- Acrylic prints are highly customizable – they can be made in any number of sizes up-to 60″ by 90″, they can be made with and without borders, and acrylic can be easily cut into shapes that you desire.
Metal Prints for a Matte Finish
Done on dibond – that’s a material mid-way between polyethene (the center) and aluminum (the edges) – metal prints come out to be super clean images. They are of 2 kinds:
- Brushed metal finish – The brushed effect pops out at all the white places left in the image. The surrounding colors look somewhat brushed. As a result, the contrast ratio turns out to be remarkably high.
- White metal finish – It’s done with the solo aim to create such high contrast that there’s a lot of focus on the detailing. In other words, prints on white metal are nothing less than actual HD images.
However, the newest addition to the kitty at big acrylic is the varnished metal print. A varnish is used in order to give the metal prints a semi-glossy finish.
Back-lit Prints
These are the third type that we were talking about earlier.
They are built in order to help businesses with branding messages and content that keeps changing from time to time.
The images are heat-infused on a fabric that scatters light evenly. The result is, ultra-clear glossy, bright, and distinctive images with a nearly frameless look.
All in all, your ideal pick is the one that fits your budget and fulfills your requirements.
