The printing and inclusion process under plexiglass that we choose to offer is a very high-end finish.
It is a real collage of the photo print under a 3 mm acrylic glass plate and not a "UV printing", a range printing method which consists in directly printing the image on a Transparent PVC, resulting in a more than mediocre rendering.
The gluing process on plexiglass (plexicollage) that we have chosen is more commonly called "Diasec" and consists in taking a "sandwich" of the photographic print between, a 3mm bright transparent acrylic glass and a 2mm Dibon aluminum plate, providing the print enormously deep and a magnificent relief. The art photographs in plexiglass finish of our gallery are real exhibition pieces printed in the rules of the art, do not hesitate to consult our plexiglas printing section to know more.
