Brilliant Acrylic Prints That Make a Lasting Impression

If you're looking for a truly spectacular image, acrylic prints are an excellent choice. These striking signs were recently produced for the Pima County Government and show just how vibrant and impactful this medium can be. Whether you're displaying photography, corporate branding, or custom artwork, acrylic signs offer unmatched clarity and brilliance.

What Are Acrylic Prints?

Acrylic prints are high-resolution images printed directly onto a thick sheet of clear acrylic. This method creates a sleek, glass-like effect that intensifies color and depth. At Graphic Impact, we use UV-cured inks to ensure maximum vibrancy and durability. The result? Vivid, life-like tones that grab attention and leave a lasting impression.

How Acrylic Prints Are Made

It all starts with a premium piece of crystal-clear acrylic, typically ranging from 1/4" to 1" in thickness. Using high-end flatbed printers, we print your design in full color on the reverse side of the acrylic sheet. This reverse printing technique protects the image from scratching and damage, making the print suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Once printing is complete, a layer of white vinyl is applied to the back of the acrylic. This step enhances contrast, improves color saturation, and adds an extra layer of protection. The final product is sharp, glossy, and incredibly durable.

Why Choose Acrylic Over Other Print Materials?

• Superior Clarity: Acrylic offers glass-like transparency with none of the fragility.
• Bold Color Reproduction: UV inks look more vibrant behind acrylic than on traditional substrates.
• Durability: Scratch-resistant and waterproof, acrylic prints are made to last.
• Modern Aesthetic: Clean edges and a glossy finish make acrylic a contemporary favorite.
• Versatile Mounting Options: From stainless steel stand-offs to hidden float mounts, the installation options are endless.

Custom Sizing and Finishes

At Graphic Impact, we can produce acrylic prints as large as 4 feet by 8 feet. Whether you need a single piece or a full gallery wall, we offer precise cuts and custom shapes to fit your exact specifications. The acrylic surface can be finished in gloss for that high-impact shine or matte for a softer, glare-free appearance.

Mounting Techniques That Make a Statement

How your acrylic sign is mounted can dramatically affect its visual impact. One of our favorite options is to relieve the finished product 0.25 to 0.50 inches from the wall. This creates a stunning floating effect that adds dimension and sophistication to the final piece.

Other popular mounting options include:

• Stainless Steel Stand-Offs: Stylish, durable, and perfect for corporate environments.
• Hidden Mounts: Invisible from the front, letting your image take center stage.
• Z-Clips and French Cleats: Secure and easy to install, ideal for larger prints.

Ideal Uses for Acrylic Prints

Acrylic prints are highly versatile and suitable for many environments, including:

• Corporate offices and conference rooms
• Medical and dental offices
• Hotel and resort lobbies
• Retail displays and showrooms
• Art galleries and photography studios
• Residential décor and feature walls

Case Study: Pima County Government Project

One of our most successful acrylic print installations was for the Pima County Government. The project involved high-resolution graphics that needed to communicate professionalism, clarity, and brand consistency. Using our reverse print method and white vinyl backing, we created bold and elegant signs that now serve as focal points throughout their facilities. The acrylic panels were wall-mounted using hidden fixtures, providing a modern, floating effect.
