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.

And now they are using materials that were thought to not be suited for a printing process. That is why custom size acrylic prints are the fad today. This is now something that can be achieved by the average people since the demand for this product has increased over the years. It has double the durability of the other materials that was used ensuring the longevity of the image.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
