About the Finish
Our Premum Gallery Finish: Acrylic Medium
Our premium process is our gold standard and is photographic paper face-mounted to acrylic. 95% of what we show at our galleries and sell is in this medium.
- This medium is optically printed onto Fuji Crystal Archival paper Pearlescent base on Fuji paper is HIGHLY reflective of light
- The richest, most vibrant color technically possible. The result: colors light up and lay down according to the light source. They truly come alive
- Our most vibrant medium
- The back frame is a recessed frame on the back of the print that mounts to a cleat or z-bar, for easy hanging
- This gives a very beautiful and modern appearance of the print floating off the wall
