Benefits Of Using Acrylic Photo Prints For Artworks And Photos

By David Fisher


Photographs and other visual art forms are very important in the way that they can hold the soul of certain age in history. Great art will always be timeless and more often than not becomes an iconic image that can represent a generation. Even with what technology is available, artists have made it a point that the invention of new media does not destroy the essence of making art.

Good quality prints are not particularly hard to find if they were meant to be small scale ones. But for large pieces, getting somethings that can match the digital format may be a bit tricky. Acrylic photo prints are especially good at showing high definition images and are perfect for those that plan to print their high definition photographs.

The more popular option is actually canvas printing since it has been used for a long time now. What many have been picking up though, is using acrylic printing methods for their ability to make colors pop up. But many professionals know that the method to choose would depend on the photograph, since each has their own aesthetic attribute.

Choosing one method can make so much of a difference depending on what the image would be used for. The response the intended audience may give is also taken into consideration. These prints use photograph paper and then pressed between two five millimeter acrylic sheets. The front panel is essentially transparent to show the image, but the back can either be transparent, black or white.

Photos with a more contemporary concept, like a cityscape at night would look great in high definition. The reflective surface of this printing method does not absorb light and there for lets it look like the lights in the picture are actually shining. Canvas printing also has the benefit of making an image look more authentic, vintage and soft, compared to the high resolution one.

For more commercial purposed the more high definition option would be best since they give a sense of sharpness. The aluminum support used to prop them up also gives a sense of depth and modernity to where the piece is supposed to be displayed. These prints would look great on office spaces and reception areas.

Best to choose the acrylic route when it comes to images that are supposed to have vibrant colors. Since this material is reflective the colors remain deep, rich and vibrant. This is due to the fact that no light passes through the sheet. You can also have the sheet be covered with UV protection so sunlight does not damage it.

The downside is how this is the more expensive among all the available option. The price that you pay is well compensated for since these prints are also very durable. The coating makes the product waterproof and UV protected. Canvases are not by default with varnish and UV protection but a lacquer or substance can be added to achieve this, post print.

Cleaning and maintenance is also easier. All you need to get is a specialized product found in the market, usually also used for glass and other similar surfaces. These materials are also very affordable and easy to find. It just takes a few minutes to apply the substance and wipe it down.
