All About HD Acrylic Prints

When setting up home or office décor, you most likely want some bold artwork to add some eye candy. One of the best ways to do this is by getting some acrylic prints to hang. Acrylic photo prints are vibrant and crisp, making them a great focal point for any décor theme. Now, looking at the title you may be wondering “What about HD acrylic prints?” Fun story: all acrylic prints are made from HD (high definition) photos, otherwise they don’t turn out well. Today’s article will discuss what can be done to make an acrylic print that feels even more HD and can truly pop in your space.

Acrylic Thickness:

When you are looking for a high level of vibrancy in your acrylic print, you should aim for a higher acrylic thickness. If you want a gallery-quality print style, then you will want to have about 4mm to 6mm of thickness on your acrylic at a minimum. This will not only refract light better to make colors pop, but it also creates an almost 3D effect along the sides! You can go even thicker if you’d like even more depth.

Face Mounted:

For truly HD looking photo prints, you can try having them face-mounted. This method of setup is done by bonding the print to the acrylic using a liquid gel rather than printing directly onto to acrylic or using an adhesive film.

Metallic Paper:

Along with the option of face mounting comes an additional way to make your acrylic print extra spectacular. You can choose what kind of photo paper your item gets printed on. You can have a satin-style photo paper or a metallic one. For most prints, metallic paper works best, the only exception is for photos with soft colors or low contrast where satin-style photo paper would work better.

Art Lighting:

This one is less about the acrylic photo print itself and more about how you display it. Anyone who is into art can tell you that lighting is a huge component of how your artwork looks when displayed. For an acrylic print, direct lighting will be your best friend. While you may not have it up to gallery quality, you can add a little bit of direct lighting to make that piece take on a little extra magic!

Acrylic prints can make any space feel like an art gallery if they are done with these tips in mind. A few other things to remember when selecting an image to make an acrylic print with:

  • 1. Bolder is better. Acrylic photo prints are ideal for photos with bold color contrast, whether that be black and white or vibrant colors.
  • 2. A high-quality photo will make a high-quality acrylic print.

Now that you have this knowledge of what makes the best-looking acrylic photo print, you can choose the best options for your home, office, or business décor and know that it will make a lasting impression on anyone who sees it. Design your world with style and elegance!
