Capturing a solar eclipse is a rare and awe-inspiring event that deserves to be commemorated in print. Whether you've snapped the perfect shot of a partial or total eclipse, immortalizing the moment in a tangible form enhances its significance. In this post, we'll share ten tips for printing your solar eclipse photos, covering various mediums and why Posterjack stands out as the premier choice for bringing your eclipse images to life.
1. Check Image Resolution
Ensure your solar eclipse photos meet the minimum resolution requirements for printing. This step requires minimal effort but is essential for achieving sharp and detailed prints. Refer to the graph below, or if you need additional help, check out How Big Can I Print My Photo?
Or, if you’d prefer, you can leave it to our automatic rating system to let you know if the resolution of your solar eclipse photo is good enough! When you upload a photo to our website, you’re automatically provided with a photo quality rating. This will help give you a better idea on what to expect before you print, and if your photo quality is unacceptable, our system won’t allow you to proceed with your order. Our priority is ensuring you’re happy with your print!
2. Select the Right Material
Solar eclipse photos can be printed on various photo art products, including paper, canvas, metal, wood, and acrylic. Consider the aesthetic you want to achieve and where the print will be displayed when choosing the material. We look at several of these printing materials in the tips below.
3. Enhance with Matte or Gloss Finishes
Whether you opt for a matte or glossy finish should depend on personal preference and the intended viewing environment. Matte finishes reduce glare and reflections, while gloss finishes enhance vibrancy and depth.

4. Consider Canvas for Timeless Appeal
Canvas Prints lend a timeless and artistic feel to solar eclipse photos. The texture of a Posterjack Canvas Print adds depth, and the durability ensures your print remains stunning for years—even centuries!—to come.
5. HD Metal Prints for Modern Elegance
For a contemporary look with vibrant colours and exceptional detail, HD Metal Prints are an excellent choice. The glossy surface enhances contrast and creates a stunning visual impact.
6. Acrylic Prints for Brilliance and Depth
Acrylic Prints offer unparalleled brilliance and depth, making them perfect for showcasing the dramatic beauty of a solar eclipse. The 1/4-inch thick, optically-pure acrylic we use adds a lustrous sheen and intensifies colours for a mesmerizing effect.
7. Customize with Framing Options
Frame your solar eclipse print to complement its surroundings and add a professional touch. Whether you’d prefer an elegant white frame, sleek black frame, or natural wood frame, we offer a variety of framing options to suit any style.
