A lightweight alternative to traditional framing, Pixter’s mounted prints give your photos a modern, sleek appeal. Choose from any of our custom, unique backgrounds to truly personalize your custom image:
Metal
Modern and bold metal mounted prints reveal shimmering colours with a flash of lustre. By infusing your image into a solid sheet of metal, this specialty mount offers a brilliant sheen of vivid colours in sharp contrast to conventional canvas or paper. Lightweight, rigid, and composed with elegant detail, metal mounted prints captivate and elevate your space.
Metal (Di-Bond) panels are made of an aluminum composite comprised of 2 pieces of aluminum with a layer of plastic in between. This gives the material added thickness and durability. The metal below the print shows the metallic finish throughout the image exuding a unique metallic finish.
Acrylic
If you’re looking to display your photos just like the world’s leading photo art galleries, a Pixter acrylic print is the perfect choice. Acrylic mounting maximizes your photo’s clarity creating a dramatic, vivid, and modern aesthetic. The combination of super-vivid printing, professional-quality materials, and in-depth details of your photo creates a truly magical effect (ideal for photographs of water, metal, or other reflective surfaces).
One of the most popular ways to showcase life’s special moments is through stunning acrylic photo mounts. These beautiful pieces transform your photos into one-of-a-kind words of art.
1/4 inch clear acrylic is used in these types of prints. For mounting, the print is adjusted on the rear side of the acrylic. This creates a glass-like finish on the outermost area of the art piece.
Sintra
Sintra is a rigid, durable, yet lightweight plastic material used for mounting photos. Cut to any size or shape, Sintra’s texture allows for museum-quality images that can be customized with or without framing. This lightweight option offers simple installation and, depending on its size, sintra can also be hung using adhesive!
Our mounted prints add a different look to custom prints. They can be mounted on a variety of substrates including metal, plastic, and acrylic. Each substrate affords a completely unique finish.
1/4 inch plastic Sintra panels are used in the manufacturing of these type of prints. This lightweight yet durable plastic material adds depth to any hanging art piece.

Digital image quality is measured in PPI (pixels per square inch). Without getting too technical; the lowest PPI ideal for any large format printing is 72. This means that the minimum pixels your image has to be for a 12 inch photo is 72 x 12 = 864 pixels wide by 864 pixels tall. The more PPI an image has, the clearer and sharper it will appear. Our Image quality Rating System calculates the PPI of your image and provides a rating for your image. When uploading your desired image, our rating system will provide you with a rating that best explains the clarity and quality of the file you’ve shared. In addition, once you have resized and cropped your select image, our rating system provides you with a new accurate rating based on your adjustments.
| Image Quality Chart | |
|---|---|
| PPI | Quality |
| 0-49 | Unsuitable |
| 50-71 | Poor |
| 72-99 | Fair |
| 100-149 | Good |
| 150-299 | Excellent |
| 300+ | Perfect |
When an image is enlarged, it loses resolution. This results in a lower PPI. If you have an image at 300 PPI that’s enlarged to 2x of its original size, its new PPI will be 150. At this measurement, your image will still maintain an excellent appearance when printed.
Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio defines the relative size of height to the width of an image. The table below describes which aspect ratios are best to select depending on how your photo was taken.
