Types of picture frames we cover : Decorative: Instead of being plain, decorative frames have pictures, sayings, and even sometimes 3D elements on them that will make the frame really pop. It is fun to find a decorative frame that fits with the theme of the picture that you are going to display as this makes the picture and frame appear to be a cohesive unit that you’re displaying. With so many decorative frames to choose from, you can easily buy one that will match the hobbies or interests of the person you’re giving it to.

Display : Hanging frames come with the attached hardware that you will need to hang your picture on the wall. They make it very easy to install a gallery wall or simply to hang up one or two select photographs. It is possible to turn a tabletop picture frame into one that can be hung on the wall if you use the right hardware but it is much easier to simply buy the kind that you want from the beginning. This eliminates any hassle of trying to convert the picture frame and ensures that it will be stable and steady enough to not accidentally come off of the wall. Shape : While not as easy to find as other types of frames are, oval frames are very classy and will really draw attention to the photograph in the frame. They come as both hanging and tabletop frames and are generally a little fancier than other types of frames are. When using these frames, you will have to cut down the photograph that you are going to be displaying. It’s easy to do this by using the included picture in the frame as a guide.

Do you use stand-off bolts? Using stand-off bolts to secure an acrylic print to the wall is common, but we prefer the floating off the wall look where all the hardware is completely hidden. This is the configuration you’d typically see in a gallery setting. While acrylic prints can be offered much cheaper using stand-off bolts since a backer material isn’t needed, we believe these are a distraction to the image. That said, we do have customers that prefer it for various reasons (ie to match existing prints they already have or to provide better security), so can provide this option as a custom order. The vast majority of our acrylic prints are produced with hidden floating and hanging hardware. If security is a concern for you we have a french cleat solution with locking security hardware. See more info on Print onto metal.

Materials: Leather frames have a very distinct look to them. You can buy ones that are tanned leather or ones that have the hide still attached, depending on what style you want for your home. These frames may look out of place in certain homes, depending on the style and decoration used through the house, but can look great in farmhouses or even in a modern home when used appropriately.

Here’s how it all happens: before the process begins, your photograph will be inspected for any imperfections. Then, your picture will be printed onto heat transfer paper, made specifically for the dye-sublimation process. At this point, the image on the heat transfer would look like a transparent, desaturated version of your original image.
