At Liquid Color Images we offer a variety of print types to suit the needs of all customers. From small desktop stand-up prints to 30×40″ museum quality wall art, we can help you find what you want. In the order of generally increasing quality and cost, the print options include:
- Photo paper prints that you can have framed as you prefer, in a variety of sizes. These prints are great to use as desk stand-ups in a clear acrylic stands, and can be frequently rotated due to their ease of making and low cost.
- Photo paper prints mounted on a foam board backing: these are good for desk stand-ups or a rotating wall gallery.
- Canvas prints on a stretch frame. Canvas has less sharpness but can be printed very large, and looks great from a few steps away. Please note that in canvas prints the edges of the canvas wrap around the frame, so approximately 1″ of the image on each side appears on the edge of the finished picture.
- Metal prints: these prints come ready to hang, and deliver excellent detail and sharpness. The larger ones are especially stunning.
- Acrylic prints: these prints have a three-dimensional look and appear almost alive, and come ready to hang. They cost more but for some photos they will have the best look. They can also be printed quite large.
- FujiFlex acrylic prints: these prints are special order and come in a variety of finishes. If you have a very high set of standards for the presentation of your prints, and, for example, want your dog to look almost alive on the picture, we can order these for you.
- Lumachrome gallery prints: the ultimate materials, mounted on museum grade acrylic panels, result in unparalleled presentation quality and visual impact.
Not all materials are avalable in every desired size. While almost any custom sizes are available in premium materials, the cost of custom sized prints is higher than the cost of standard size prints. Standard sizes include 8×10, 12×12, 12×14, 16×20, 20×30 and 30×40 inches. Larger sizes, such as 36×58″ are also available for many of our prints, and can lend themselves very well to a tryptich format, with small gaps between panels.
All types of prints and materials are UV resistant and can be expected to reatin their brilliant colors for 15+ years in a room with a typical day lighting, or 6-10 years when regularly lit by direct sunlight. Metal, acrylic and Lumachrome prints are more fading resistant than paper and canvas prints.
Your TLC team member will be happy to discuss these options with you and help you choose the best one for your intended display location, lighting and the kind of picture itself.
