Metal or Acrylic for black and white print?

4 years 5 months ago #663068 by Rawley Photos
I have metal and acrylic prints all through out my home.  I have a landscape photo that has been converted to B&W and I was thinking about getting it down in acrylic.  However a buddy of mine was saying it would be a waste as an acrylic that metal would be best.  Now I'm pretty thick headed so of course I'm posting this thread to get additional opinions and thoughts on this.

First off, do you have any B&W prints in either metal or acrylic?

How does it look?

Would you go with the print medium again for a B&W print?

If you have acrylic and didn't like how it turned out with a B&W, what about it didn't work for you?  

Thanks for the help.

I seriously don't think it will make any difference.   A good print is a good print.

You serious?  B&W will absolutely make a great print on acrylic.   You should go to a decent print shop and look at their gallery.  Or better yet find a National Geographic or Peter Lik gallery and look at the B&W prints they have in acrylic, you’ll change your mind fast.
