With direct 6-color printing process the image goes straight onto the panel (like Foam Board or Metal/Aluminum). We call this direct print and this is the standard option for most materials. This method is great for pictures intended for longterm outdoor usage.
With the fine art process, your image is first printed on premium quality fine art paper, then laminated onto the panel (eg. Foam Board or Metal/Aluminum). For extra protection, the print gets a matte or glossy finish. This method makes the colors pop even more thanks to our 12-color printing process.
For acrylic glass fine art, the print is laminated on the back, so you see the image through the 4 mm thick acrylic glass, giving you the best color reproduction.
