Acrylic Photo Prints

Yes, you are more than welcome to use a light source to enhance your print. When doing so, we recommend not shining light directly on a second surface print, as the glare from the light can diminish the image clarity. Further, acrylic photo prints aren't intended to be used as backlit signs so we'd recommend not purchasing them with this intent in mind. We do not offer lighting options for our acrylic prints.

We offer 1/8" thick and ¼" thick acrylic prints to meet your various needs. These are the two most common thicknesses for acrylic prints in the printing industry. Aside from aesthetic purposes, the thicker ¼" print will offer greater rigidity for larger acrylic prints and a greater depth effect for when second surface printed.

Acrylic photo prints are not designed to have a great degree of flexibility. That being said, larger prints on 1/8" acrylic will have some bendability. This lack of pure rigidity should not affect the durability of your acrylic print when handled correctly.

Absolutely! We recommend mounting the print to the wall to prevent the print from accidentally being knocked over by a child. To increase safety, do not place the print at a height in which a child could reach it nor should you place the print above a child's bed.

There really isn't a limit to what you can print as long as you are within the bounds of our terms of service. We remind you that terms of service require you as the buyer to have all permissions needed before printing copyrighted material.

We accept a wide variety of file types, including: AI, .EPS, .PS, .PDF, .JPEG, .JPG, .PNG, .GIF, .BMP, .TIFF, .TIF. It's recommended that you use a high-resolution JPG picture from a digital camera, as this will give you the greatest clarity and detail for your acrylic print.The file size limit is 25MB. If you're looking to upload a file that is greater than 25MB, first upload a low-resolution version of that file/image before placing your order. Once your order is placed, please note in the customer comments field on the checkout page that you want to replace the low-res file with a high-res version. Once that is submitted, go to upload.signs.com to upload the high-resolution file and make any comments regarding your design needs. We will then use the higher resolution version of your photo in order to print the best looking custom print possible.If you have any questions about the file size or if you need assistance in designing your print, contact us for free design help.

Yes! We're currently developing the functionality to directly upload your social media photos to our design tool, but until that function is available we can help you upload those images. Contact us and we can walk you through the process of uploading your social media picture(s) for printing.

We offer the option for 0.5" drilled holes and ¾" inch standoffs to be included with your print at an additional cost. Drilled holes can be placed in the 4 corners of your print, at the top or bottom center of the print, the top corners only, the corners and top and bottom center, or in custom locations. Custom drilled holes can be selected in our design tool and then detailed in the customer comment field of the checkout page.Standoffs are ½" in diameter and ¾" in length, and made from brushed anodized aluminum. They allow your print to, as the name implies, "standoff" from the wall. Standoffs include a drywall mount and screws. Standoffs are the most common way of displaying an acrylic print or sign regardless of whether it is for home or business use respectively.

We offer any custom size between 4"x4" and 48"x96". As long as the dimensions of your print are within those limits we can print it for you.

We do not offer color matching. We cannot guarantee that the color you see on your screen will be the exact color that is printed due to variations in what you see on your computer monitor and the actual printed color. We will do our best to print true colors. In most cases, the color printed will be near identical to the one you see on your screen. This variance in what you see on your monitor and what is printed is an issue faced by all printers.

While we do not recommend drilling your own holes in the print, it is possible. Do not drill holes close to the edge of the print (try to stay at least ½” away from the edge). Our 100% satisfaction guarantee is void if you damage your print from drilling your own holes.

Placing an acrylic print in a bathroom or kitchen can increase the likelihood of water spots accumulating on its surface.
