Description

If you are a serious photographer, you like to talk about camera gear, but what about prints? What do your carefully composed images look like when they are printed? That depends on the method of printing. Outdoor Photography Guideā€™s professional shooter David Johnston suggests you try Fujiflex Acrylic Prints. In this sponsored video, Fujiflex Acrylic Prints, David analyzes this popular print format and shares some prints of his own.

Fujiflex Acrylic Prints are vibrant, vivid prints on Fujiflex Crystal Archive photographic paper face-mounted to plexiglass. There are many size choices, from 8×8 to 45×93, and including custom sizes. The surface is made of Fujiflex Crystal Archive Acrylic, with 1/4 and 1/8 inch thicknesses. The backing is also important. You can even choose DibondĀ®, the industry’s leading aluminum composite material. It is comprised of two pre-painted sheets of . 012ā€³ (. 30mm) aluminum with a solid polyethylene core. Known as the flattest sheet on the market, this material is ideal for digital printing.

Fujiflex Acrylic Prints offer longevity by keeping your print sealed inside. The prints resist humidity, moisture, ultraviolet (UV) light, dust and abrasions. Acrylic-mounted photos are also durable enough to display your images in harsher environments including the outdoors. They’re also ideal for photographers who move frequently or who display their prints in art galleries. How are these amazing prints mounted? They come with the mounting system on the back including the taped hardware for easy assembly.

David Johnston likens the Fujiflex Acrylic process to lifting an image from your computer screen and placing it on a print. The colors and dynamic range are nearly perfect. He shows you examples of Fujiflex Acrylic Prints with his own fine arts photos: trees covered in frost, a golden and blue scenic of a mountain range, a huge print of a mountain valley panorama in Zion National Park. The prints hum with contrast, clarity and color. He gets his Fujiflex Acrylic Prints made at Bay Photo for the exceptional quality and care, even in the packaging.

What happens when you want to get things out of your camera and out for display. So we're going to talk next about day photo Fuji Flex acrylic, Prince David. What have you got for us for this one? These are great. Um And it's, it's fun to talk about gear. But at some point, you're like, OK, when, when can I actually start to see some photos here? Um A lot of numbers get thrown around when we're talking about cameras and lenses. But then you get prints like the Fuji Flex acrylics and you get shots like this. So let me back up for a second. So you can see this whole thing. I did a lot of examples here when I contacted Bay Photo about what I wanted them to send as examples. And I have a wall if, if I turn my camera around, I have a whole wall of these prints facing me on the other side. So I get these for my personal photography as well. Why I like these so much is because it's kind of like you take that image from your computer screen and just put it on a print. There's no questions. The color is perfect whenever you order these and the dynamic range, like the contrast that these produce is so so good. You can see the highlights and the shadows in this photo specifically. That's why I chose it and I, I'll bring up another one here. So you can see other examples. I have one that's still in the wrapping so I can show you how they're shipped as well. Um But they have a wide range of colors that you can use and the light just pops off of these really well, if I can get it without the highlights of my light here. Uh The light pops off of these so well. So this one I wanted to get because of the nice yellow tones and blue tones show shows you the contrast and temperature that you can get in your photos too. But these come in a wide range of sizes. They're getting bigger and bigger. I have an even bigger one that I want to show you in just a second. But these are great. I want to talk about the mounting. I'm probably the least handy person when it comes to home ownership, putting things on walls. Um I don't understand any of that, but these come with the packaging on the back, the mounting system that they have on the rear is perfect and they all come with the hardware that's taped to the back. Uh So you can easily just get all the right hardware, you have it right there in the packaging and they have instructions that they send with to how to actually mount these and hang them on your wall. So there's no questions there really easy to just take out of the packaging and put up on your wall. Um, I've used these with the hardware. I've also used the smaller ones with like command strips on my walls and they hold just fine, they're a little bit heavy. Uh But with something like an acrylic that's to be expected. So how these are acrylic is basically they put your print on this sheet right here and then they put a layer of thick acrylic glass over it and it shows how much luster and just how much um saturation that your photos have and it's really, really high quality stuff. Um I wanna show you the packaging in just a second. Let me just show you this uh massive one that I have here. So I'll talk a little bit louder since I'm away from my screen now. Uh But they have small sizes all the way up to these huge sizes. So I shot this as a panorama in Zion National Park with a snowstorm coming through and you can see my arm's getting tired because this is so big. Um But you can see like how much detail that these can produce. You can see how much contrast, color and clarity that's provided in these as well and they just look really, really clean when they're on your wall. Um, let me get this smallest one now that I've had my workout for the day holding up that huge print. Um, I wanted to show you this one because of the packaging that comes with it. So when they come, uh, my wife was like, what on earth did you order? Because the box was massive because they protect them really well when they send them to you. So when this comes in the box, it has a full sheet of cardboard that's on the outside and it has this protective wrapping that's sealing the acrylic on the inside. So you have cardboard protecting it all around from every side and from the front especially. So you have two forms of protection that coming in on the front. And like I said, they have the mounting instructions and the hardware that comes with it. And then when you're ready to put it on your wall, they just have a pullback tab and it's a sheet of plastic that's over the acrylic that's really sticky to the actual print. And when you pull that off, you can see how much detail is actually included in the print. So it's really secure when you do that and then you pull it off and you can see how much detail and color is provided in these as well. Um So this is the smallest one that I ordered, but like you saw, they come all the way from a small, um, this would probably be 16 by 20 something like that or 11 by 14, 11 by 16 somewhere in there. And then that massive one, I mean, it's gonna take up a huge spot on the wall in my office once I actually get it put up. But these are phenomenal. I highly recommend Bayo. I know a lot of pros use Bay Photo for art shows. Um A lot of pros use them for just displaying them in my, in their own home. I have a full wall, like I said, in my office over on the other side of other photos that I've taken all over the country. Um So they are a phenomenal co uh company to use and I've used them myself for all of my prints and I've never had an issue with color shipping, damaged prints, anything like that. And the Fuji flex acrylic is just top notch. Like if you're doing an art show or you just wanna have a really good print in your home, use that because it will not disappoint you.
