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.

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.

Acrylics are being used in a variety of things and incorporated in many methods. And this is because of the properties that it has. It has also become the perfect material for printing photos. And today, individuals have managed to come up with the perfect methods to go with it. You can choose between direct printing or face mounting the image. There is also the sandwich method known for its double durability.

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.

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.

A picture in a frame does not last forever contrary to the belief of many. This is especially true if you put it in direct contact with sunlight. This is because no matter how many layers of glass you put, the rays of the sun can still go through and eventually cause the fading of the photo. For this reason, you need to use acrylic as it is not so susceptible to the harsh effects of the sunlight.

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.

Canvass made prints are more affordable than their counterparts in the field. And for this reason, it is a more appropriate choice for people watching their expenses. But if you are after quality, acrylic is the best way to go.
