The Acrylic Printing Process

At Carbon8, we use two primary methods for acrylic printing:

  • Direct Printing: UV-cured inks are printed directly onto the acrylic surface
  • Face Mounting: An image is printed on high-quality photo paper and adhered to the back of the acrylic

Applications of Acrylic Printing

  • Art reproductions
  • Corporate displays
  • Retail signage
  • Interior decor
  • Exhibition graphics
  • Wayfinding signs
  • Menu boards

Benefits of Acrylic Printing

  • Exceptional color vibrancy and depth
  • Durable and long-lasting prints
  • UV and scratch-resistant
  • Modern, sleek appearance
  • Customizable sizes and shapes

Acrylic Options

We offer various options to customize your acrylic prints:

  • Clear or colored acrylic
  • Different thicknesses (typically 3mm to 10mm)
  • Polished or frosted edges
  • Stand-off wall mounts or free-standing options

Design Considerations

When designing for acrylic printing, consider:

  • Image resolution (high resolution for best results)
  • Color saturation (colours appear more vibrant on acrylic)
  • Transparency effects (can be striking on clear acrylic)
  • Lighting (acrylic prints can be backlit for added impact)

Frequently Asked Questions

How durable are acrylic prints?

Acrylic prints are highly durable and resistant to fading, making them suitable for long-term indoor display. They’re also more shatter-resistant than glass.

Can acrylic prints be used outdoors?

While acrylic prints are naturally UV-resistant, we recommend indoor use for longevity. For outdoor applications, we can suggest specialised materials and treatments.

How do I clean acrylic prints?

Clean acrylic prints with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for acrylic. Avoid household glass cleaners as they may damage the surface.
