We offer a range of various materials and sizes for every product. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:

  • The canvas print: The canvas print, which should not be confused with a painting on a canvas, is an image printed from a UV direct printing machine. It produces the unique look of three dimensionality. A printed canvas of your favorite artwork will allow you to transform your personal into a large artwork. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being relatively low in weight, meaning that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without the use of any wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suited for all kinds of walls.
  • Aluminium dibond (metal print): Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an outstanding effect of depth. Its non-reflective surface structure creates a contemporary impression. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the ideal start to the sophisticated world of fine art prints on aluminum. For your Aluminium Dibond option, we print the favorite work of art onto the surface of the white-primed aluminum composite. The white & bright parts of the original artpiece shine with a silk gloss, however without the glow. This print on Aluminum Dibond is one of the most demanded entry-level products and is a sophisticated way to showcase art reproductions, since it draws focus on the image.
  • Acrylic glass print: A glossy print on acrylic glass, often named a an art print on plexiglass, makes an artwork into magnificient home décor. Above all, it forms a distinct alternative to canvas or dibond fine art prints. With a glossy acrylic glass fine art print contrasts as well as small color details become more recognizeable with the help of the very subtle tonal gradation in the picture. The plexiglass protects your custom art print against light and heat for many decades.
  • Poster print on canvas material: The poster is a UV printed canvas paper with a slightly roughened texture on the surface. The print poster is optimally suited for putting your art replica with the help of a special frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of around 2-6cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
