What Are Glass Photo Prints?
So, what are glass photo prints, and how do they differ from other types and styles of photo prints that you can display or sell?
As the name implies, glass photo prints are photo prints made with glass as the material. UV-treated glass resists fading, and the colors pop since light passes through the image. It’s a sleek, modern, vibrant, and beautiful display option.
The glass used by CanvasPrints.com is ¼” thick and is durable and safe to handle. Each glass photo print comes with mounting hardware to attach it to a wall, and they can also be displayed on a desktop or tabletop with an easel or a low-profile mount.
How to Make Glass Photo Prints
Since glass photo prints showcase vibrancy and vividness in colors and contrast, images that include vibrant colors and excellent contrast in the first place make for outstanding photo prints.
When deciding what images to use for your own glass photo prints, look for those photos you have that include deep or bright colors or strong color contrast and separation in order to enhance the impact of the process.
Uploading your images and ordering your glass photo prints is a simple process that can be done from a computer or a mobile device. Take a look at this video from the Canvas Prints YouTube channel:
So basically, ask yourself what photos you have that would look great as glass photo prints and then narrow down from there. Any style of photography will work as glass photo prints; you just want to make the best use of the material. Family portraits, classic portraits, wedding photos, landscapes, architectural images, wildlife, and abstract images all would work well.
There are various sizes available as glass photo prints. Square sizes are available as 5” X 5”, 8” X 8”, and 12” X 12” prints. Rectangular prints can be made as portrait or landscape orientation in sizes of 11” X 14”, 12” X 18”, and 16” X 24” glass photo prints. Prices are reasonable, and shipping is speedy.
Metal Photo Prints
In addition to these glass photo prints, what other types of photo prints can be ordered from CanvasPrints.com? Obviously, you can order amazing canvas photo prints from them. These canvas prints are among the best you can get from any printer because of their well-trained technicians and the high-quality materials they use.
One of their other printing styles for high-quality photo prints is metal prints. Using coated aluminum sheets, your photo is infused into the metal resulting in a scratch-resistant, waterproof piece of art that can hang in your home for generations. The archival properties of metal photo prints last over 65 years!
Scratch resistant and vibrant, each metal print comes with pre-installed floating hanging hardware. Sizes range from 8” X 10” up to 24” X 36” in portrait or landscape orientation.
Photo Tiles
Photo tiles are a simple and affordable way to create a wall gallery full of lasting memories. Each photo tile is printed on 8” X 8” foam board and includes an adhesive strip for easy hanging. You order these in increments of five to create unique wall art displays.
Try arranging them in patterns for additional display choices. Some people like making an arch, a larger square, a stair step, a waterfall, or any other shape that comes to mind.
Poster Prints
Poster prints are an inexpensive way to create and display large wall art from our photos. Sizes range from 11” X 14” all the way up to 40” X 60” and can be ordered in finishes including premium glossy, semi-gloss, and matte papers.
Besides our own fine photographers, the lower coast and huge sizes of poster prints give us opportunities to recreate classic movie posters or have a public domain file of a painting from the old masters reproduced for our personal gallery. Check out what’s out there with a search for public domain images.
Displaying Glass Photo Prints
Part of the appeal of glass photo prints is the clear nature of the imaging material. Try to arrange the art on a light-colored wall to capture some ambient light reflected from behind the image.
Alternatively, display them on a flat surface away from any walls, especially viable with the smaller glass photo prints. Any way you do it, glass photo prints are an exciting and beautiful option for displaying photo art.
