Custom Size Acrylic Prints Versus Common Canvass Prints

By Ida Dorsey


There are several ways to ensure that an image is immortalized. Today there are a lot of platforms where you can store your images. But for people who want to display the images and be sure that they are protected against different types of elements, they need to spend on materials that are durable enough to hold the image.

There are those who prefer to use frames that are custom made. But the most preferred option today is to have it in custom size acrylic prints. This is the newest fad of the people. Before, it was not as famous because it can be very expensive. But today, it has become a staple piece in the home of average people.

Because of the larger demand of these prints today, there several methods are already used to cater to the preferences and the means of customers. You can have it directly printed to the sheet or you can face mount it. There is also the sandwich method. Depending on the budget that you have, and what you like to see, you can choose between the three famous methods.

The most used and suggested method for the use of this material is face mounting. This means that the image would be printed in white paper and is pasted in the acrylic sheet. According to experts, it is better this way because it is taking advantage of the reflective feature of the sheet, therefore giving off the 3D effect.

In the past, the only material that you can print an image into to be certain that it would endure for more years is canvass. And despite the rise of acrylics, it is still widely utilized today. It could present the vintage effect to an image and this is something that others want to see sometimes.

Sunlight is the reason why the vibrancy of the photo does not last very long. Even when it protected by a frame, it would still do this to your images. But with the used of acrylics, the longevity of the vibrancy can be guaranteed. It will be protected because of the material that it is made with.

When you put something in a frame, one of the greatest risks is the shattering or breaking of the glass. But if you use acrylics for your photos, you can breathe easy since it will not break like glass frames. However, you still need to be careful because the corners can still be chipped, ruining the entire painting. It is still subject to scratches but you can avoid this by using scratch free sheets. But it will cost you more.

The final result of prints that are in different materials is still debated by many. Some say that the other is more beautiful. But this is really based on the preferences of the person who is looking at the portrait. You can never say that canvass prints lack beauty because other people prefer this over acrylics.

Another thing that you must consider before you have a custom print and choose the material that you will use is your budget. Even if it presents high quality and beauty, it can still be very expensive regardless of the method utilized. So if you are low on budget, you might want to look at the canvass material option.
