What Is an Acrylic Print? Vibrant Photo Art on Display in Room

Next-Level Photo Printing

If you want to print your photo on something that’s got a huge wow-factor; something that will have people talking; something that is modern, sleek, and incredibly vibrant, an Acrylic Print is the way to go. But what, exactly, are acrylic photo prints? Let’s take a closer look.

So, What Is An Acrylic Print?

A Posterjack Acrylic Print is a custom piece of photo art made with premium-quality materials. We started making them in 2012 and since then, we’ve produced well over 35,000 Acrylic Prints for Canadians across the country. We have invested countless hours in perfecting the Acrylic Print and refuse to cut corners, so we will always provide you with the best print you can buy. We use OPTIX 99.9% optically-pure acrylic that is 1/4”-thick. Many other photo printing companies use 1/8” acrylic which, at half the thickness, is flimsy. We cut each piece of acrylic using a Swiss-made digital cutting machine for perfectly honed edges.  And the print quality is unsurpassed on our high-end swissQprint system. Posterjack is the only photo printing company in Canada who has invested in and uses this top-of-the-line technology. It’s the highest-quality direct-to-acrylic printer in the world!

Once your photo is printed on the acrylic, our Photo Art Experts mount it to a white protective backing sheet and the result is a custom piece of photo art like no other. Because your photo is printed on the backside of the acrylic, you are looking through 1/4” of 99.9% optically pure acrylic, which gives your image a depth that has to be seen in real life to be fully appreciated. It’s as though your image is magnified and being viewed in super high definition. The colours are incredibly vibrant, making your image pop like no other photo art product on the market. An Acrylic Print is something to get excited about. It's going to look absolutely incredible displayed in your home.

This is a Posterjack Acrylic Print. It’s a piece of custom artwork made just for you at our workshop. They’re modern, glossy, and vivid. Our Acrylic Prints are in a class of their own, here’s why. 

We start with a thick, 1/4-inch optically clear sheet of acrylic. We print directly on the back of the acrylic using state-of-the-art inkjet printers and Posterjack software, for vibrant, accurate colours and sharp details. Then we mount a white protective backing sheet and polish the edges to a crystal-clear sheen. This means your acrylic refracts light from edge to edge. 

Acrylic Prints are Posterjack’s most premium product and require 22 production steps. The result is a wondrous and breathtaking piece of photo art. We’d love to print your photo on acrylic and show you just how amazing an Acrylic Print can be.
