Why Use Acrylic Photo Prints For Exhibit Photographs Instead

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.

Being able to reproduce these images and printing them from a digital format is one of the perks that technology has blessed people with. There are many methods now that is available that people can choose from. Acrylic photo prints are the most recent ones being used with its ability to show a higher spectrum of colors when compared to other options.

Each method has their own corresponding benefits and perks. When it comes to price if canvas was compared to acrylic, canvas would be more widely used because it is cheaper. While it has the price advantage it can only produce two thirds of the color gamut that acrylic does. But whether to get one or the other largely depends on the style the artist is going for.

Knowing which one to choose it vital because the way the photograph is presented can do so much to the way it is seen. The process that makes up for acrylic prints involves the image being printed on a photo paper and being pressed between two sheets of acrylic. The back panel can either be white, black or transparent depending on what would be fit for the image.

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.

The whole contemporary and high definition nature of acrylic photos make it the best option for images used in professional and office settings. These prints can be set up using aluminum support or a frame. The aluminum support is subtle and does not disrupt the visual quality of the image. This makes is good for digital posters used in reception areas and other corporate venues.

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.

While the price is definitely higher than most available alternatives you can guarantee that this would drop in the future the more often it is used. Many artists and photographers have been using this method to display their stuff mostly due to it being the option that displays in a higher color gamut and gives more pronounced black shades.

Cleaning the print is also considerably easier. The material or substance used can compare with what you can use with glass and other same textured surfaces. You are guaranteed that the photo surface is waterproof, so even if you decide to just use water as the cleaning agent, it would not affect the image quality.
