How Our Print Mediums Compare
First, each medium gives your photo a different look. Acrylic has a high-gloss finish and real depth, so colors look rich and detailed. Sublimation metal, now called Luxe Metal, fuses your image into a ChromaLuxe aluminum panel. As a result, it looks glossy, almost luminous, and is virtually scratchproof. Brushed metal, on the other hand, lets the metal grain show through the light areas for a silver, industrial look.
Why Compare Print Mediums Before You Order
In fact, the same photo can look quite different on each surface. For example, a detailed landscape can stand out on Luxe Metal, while a black-and-white shot often works well on brushed metal. That is why mockups help. You see your own image on each medium, so you can choose with confidence. In addition, you can order a free sample kit to see and touch the materials first. It also comes with free shipping and no purchase required.
Print Mediums Compared by Size
Sizes differ too. Acrylic prints go up to 96 × 60″, white and brushed metal up to 90 × 60″, and Luxe Metal up to 60 × 40″. Then, once you pick a medium, you can order custom acrylic prints or custom metal prints online. For a side-by-side guide, read our acrylic vs metal vs canvas guide.
