FAQ

What materials are used to make an acrylic glass photo?

Acrylic glass is a plastic with the properties of glass, but without its fragility and weight. So it is the perfect material for your photos, providing a high-gloss surface that offers excellent protection.

How is the acrylic glass printed?

Unlike other manufacturers, we actually print directly onto the glass. We do not glue onto photo paper, which over time will inevitably begin to peel off. With this new printing technology, you get an excellent colour rendering that, unlike glued photo paper, does not fade and cannot peel off.

How strong or thick is the acrylic glass panel?

As standard, we offer acrylic glass in both 3 mm and 8 mm thicknesses. However, in principle we can offer almost any thickness as a special format. If you need a particular material thickness, ask us about it and we will gladly make you an attractive offer.

Is the acrylic glass photo translucent?

A direct printing process delivers two layers of colour to the acrylic glass plate. The glass plate retains its translucency and may be backlit giving an impressive effect. More information under illuminated acrylic prints.

Do you also produce custom sizes?

On request we can produce any special formats you require for an additional charge. For logistical reasons, however, the size of the acrylic glass photo may not exceed 125 x 250 cm. For special formats, just contact us via email or phone. Our special formats are cheaper than you think. Please note that the delivery of special formats can take up to 10 days.

The file you uploaded is not of the type "JPG", "JPEG" or "PNG". If necessary, please convert the image file to the correct file format using an image-editing program.

Will the resolution of my images be adequate?

With four megapixel resolution, you can have acrylic glass photos made in the sizes 80 x 60 cm and 100 x 75 cm in very good quality. With the help of our calculator you can find the ideal photo resolution required for your desired print size. Or use the size calculator and with the pixel count, find the right size. This calculator is particularly useful if you want to print photos from your phone onto acrylic glass.

Why does "40 x 30 cm" appear as the only available format for my photo?

Our system checks which product is suitable for your file. For this purpose, pixel count and aspect ratio of your photo are crucial. Based on this data our system suggests the aspect ratio and the maximum size of the product. This check ensures that you will receive a high-quality product from us. To be able to print larger formats, you must upload a file with a larger resolution. Alternatively you can also cut the size of your photo during the format selection.
