Kess Gallery

Acrylic Prints

Every print in the gallery can be made as a face-mounted acrylic. The photograph is bonded to the back of a clear acrylic sheet, so you see it through the acrylic, with deep colour and a high-gloss finish.

Why acrylic

Seeing a photograph through acrylic adds depth, contrast and colour, and the gloss face catches the light. It suits the turquoise water and golden sand in our aerial prints.

How it's made

  • The photograph is printed on Canon imagePROGRAF printers, on an acid-free gloss paper made for face mounting.
  • It's then bonded to a 6mm Shinkolite acrylic sheet with polished edges. The bond is airtight, sealing the print from moisture and dust.
  • The acrylic has 93% optical clarity, higher than glass, and filters about 65% of ambient UV light.
  • A 2mm backing and a hidden 16mm hanging frame sit behind it, so the piece is 24mm deep and floats about 2cm off the wall.
  • It arrives ready to hang, with a hanging cord fixed to the back.
  • Every acrylic is made to order. Allow up to 21 days from order to delivery, and delivery is free anywhere in Australia.

Looking after it

  • Hang it out of direct sunlight and at least 1.5 m from heaters and fireplaces.
  • Acrylic is heavier than it looks, so use wall fixings rated for the weight, and get a hand with the larger sizes.
