Custom Size Acrylic Prints Versus Common Canvass Prints

By Ida Dorsey


People feel the need to display some of their most memorable and favorite photos. This is the reason why you see a variety of frames hanging from one side of the wall and the other. And to ensure that the image would endure, the entire process from printing to framing is done carefully. Today, individuals have thought of new ways to improve this process.

It can be a sturdy custom frame or you can apply the method that is being used by most photographers and artists today. This is known today as custom size acrylic prints. Before, the main material used for printing or drawing something is canvass. But today, the new style is acrylics.

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.

Because of the effect that it gives off, face mounting is what most people usually go for. Aside from that, it is also the type of method that it most suggested by experts to new patrons. It is not so expensive and it has the 3D effect to go with.

Before, the main material that was usually utilized for this kind of things are canvass sheets. And it is still widely utilized today. There are some who still prefer it over the newer methods. And some go for it because of the affordability.

One of the factors that causes the fading of photos is sunlight. Even if you put it in a very expensive frame that has is made of ultra durable materials, sunlight still has a way of penetrating through the glass. And when this happens, it would be hard to preserve the original vibrancy. This is not something that you have to suffer when you make use of acrylics.

Another disadvantage that you can encounter from glass frames is the fact that they could break and ruin the entire image. Acrylics on the other hand, is not prone to this weakness. But there is still a need to be careful though since it can still have chipped corners if not carried properly. It can also have scratches. This can be remedied by scratch resistant sheets. But for this tiny feature, you should be willing to pay extra.

The appearance is something that is debated by photographers. There are those who like the look of vintage class offered by canvass prints. However, there are also people who want to achieve the and modern and vibrant look of a picture printed in acrylic.

The rate of the two materials differ very much. If you are on tight budget and but still want to achieve quality, it is okay to go for canvass made frames. But if you have the extra budget and you want to be certain that the image would last longer than you really need to go for the other one.
