FAQ
product information
What image resolution do we use for printing?
For high-quality print results, a minimum resolution of 150 dpi is generally recommended. However, for optimal results and to guarantee you the highest quality, we use a resolution of 300 dpi. DPI stands for "Dots Per Inch" and describes the resolution of a printed image. The higher the DPI value, the more detailed and sharper the resulting image.
What is the difference between a poster and a Hahnemühle print?
Quality is the key differentiator. While our posters are produced using a high-quality 8-color printing process, we use a more sophisticated 12-color printing process for Hahnemühle Fine Art prints. This process gives the image motifs an exceptionally elegant appearance. In addition, the fine, matte texture of the handmade Hahnemühle paper ensures a detailed, lifelike reproduction in bright colors, which leads to an even more impressive print result overall. Hahnemühle printing gives every room a special elegance and takes art to a new level.
Are my prints also suitable for outdoor use?
The suitability of your printed images for outdoor use depends on the material used. Both our photo posters and Hahnemühle Fine Art Prints are not designed for outdoor use as they are not weatherproof and are best displayed indoors.
Photo canvases are also not suitable for outdoor use as they can absorb moisture, fade, become porous or be damaged.
For outdoor use, we recommend prints on acrylic glass, as this material is much more resistant to weather influences.
Which format is better for me: poster or canvas?
The decision between a poster and a canvas print depends on your personal preferences and the desired area of use. Canvas prints offer outstanding quality because a real canvas is stretched over a sturdy wooden frame, which not only gives the artwork impressive stability but also enhances it visually. In addition, printing on canvas enables vivid and detailed color reproduction that lasts for a long time and thus provides lasting pleasure.
Will the print also extend to the side edges of the canvas?
Yes, our canvases are characterized by the fact that the side edges are also printed with a mirrored version of the main motif and carefully stretched around the frame.
What is acrylic glass?
Acrylic glass, also known as Plexiglas or artificial glass, is a clear plastic sheet that covers a fine art print. Contrary to a common misconception, acrylic glass is not made of real glass.
The main advantage of acrylic compared to traditional glass is its higher light transmission and lower weight, as it is only half as heavy as glass. It is also characterized by its robustness, weather resistance and UV resistance.
Our acrylic prints are always produced using a high-quality 12-color fine art printing process to ensure the best quality and durability.
How should I care for my photo canvas and acrylic glass?
To maintain the quality and longevity of your photo canvas, proper care and cleaning is essential. Protect your canvas from direct sunlight and only place it in dry rooms. To remove dust and loose particles, we recommend gently wiping the canvas with a dry, soft cloth.
In contrast, acrylic glass should never be cleaned when dry to avoid scratching the surface. To clean acrylic glass, it is best to use water together with a lint-free cloth or a soft sponge to gently clean the surface.
How do I hang my prints and are all prints ready to hang?
To hang your canvases optimally, please use the pre-made groove (notch) on the back of the canvas. This allows the canvas to be securely attached to the wall with steel nails or angle hooks. For a particularly stable and reliable hold, we recommend our special Fischer screw + dowel set, which is included free of charge with every order. Alternatively, the canvas can be placed on a hanger.
For posters without frames, we offer Powerstrips in sets of 4 or 20, which allow for easy attachment.
Panel products such as acrylic glass can be placed on a hanger or hung on the wall using a hanger for the back of the picture. For wall hanging, a corresponding metal hanger set is included in the order.
All accessories for mounting your artwork can be purchased here in our shop.
