There are typically two main types of acrylic prints:
Direct Printing: In this method, the image is directly printed onto the surface of the acrylic sheet using specialized printers and UV-curable inks. Direct printing is often preferred for its contemporary and high-gloss appearance, which adds a sense of depth and visual impact to the artwork or photograph.
Face Mounting: Face mounting, also known as the “Diasec” method, involves printing the image onto a high-quality photographic paper, which is then mounted onto the backside of the acrylic sheet. This technique enhances the depth, clarity, and vibrancy of the image. It creates a three-dimensional effect and adds a sense of depth, making the image appear as if it is floating within the acrylic.
