Acrylic print or canvas?

dinneenp

Hi,
I'm planning on getting a large print of this photo for the wall. Canvas or acrylic print seem to be the options.

Some questions-
1. With acrylic prints can you get the photo 'wrapped' around the sides or not?
2. does acrylic give off much of a shine?
3. Which would work better in your opininion. I'm thinking acrylic as the canvas loses detail/is more grainy.

not sure what you mean wrapped around the sides, acrylic mounted stuff is generally done edge to edge, and the print is on the back of the acrylic

yes acrylic is generally very shiney, although there are no reflective acrylics available but they are more expensive

i do think acrylic would be the way to do it though

i would suggest a square crop, it looks a little off or something with the rectangle imo
