Brighten Any Surface with Prints on Glass

Photo prints on glass are a stylish and modern alternative to printing on canvas. The way it looks and presents itself makes it perfect for displaying wedding photos, portrait shots, landscapes or corporate signage.

Glass versus Canvas

Printing photos on canvas has increased in popularity over the years due to the fact that canvas prints are cheap to produce and can be ordered online at the click of a button. It is certainly one of the cheapest options to make wall features, but not necessarily the best if you’re wanting a premium product. With canvas, your photos are printed directly onto the surface of the canvas and the canvas material quality will determine how long your print will remain bold and beautiful.

Canvas prints simply do not have the same life expectancy that glass, acrylic or aluminium prints have. To put this into perspective, canvas prints are stretched around a wooden frame that will naturally succumb to the elements over time. Canvas prints are the best choice for indoor areas with good ventilation and no dampness, however they would not be a suitable choice for outdoor areas or walls that receive direct sunlight. That begs the question: how should your photos and artwork be displayed in conditions that are less than ideal?

The Advantage of Prints on Glass

Having a treasured photo or design printed directly onto glass is the most vibrant way to display the image. Not only do the colors burst with vibrancy, the image is completely sealed from the outside air and also has added protection from the sun’s damaging UV rays. Thus, you can expect your print to resist fading for at least 50 years. Plus having your images printed on glass is less expensive than having them framed, but slightly more expensive than printing to canvas, but with added boldness and durability. Anyone can get a canvas print, but not everyone would think to get a glass print, so wherever you hang your print, it’s bound to impress everyone who sees it.

How Glass Prints Can Work For You

Plus we can provide block-out transfers (a white background on the rear of the print) to prevent bleed through from colored walls. Glass is also very sophisticated and works perfectly to create stunning displays and vibrant exhibits in retail establishments, commercial and residential settings, restaurants, tourist centres and much more.

• Photography and artwork.
