Printing: posters, canvas, boards
How much does a poster cost?
Posters start at €3.90. A 50 × 70 cm poster costs €12.90 (matt or glossy).
What is the difference between poster, canvas, Forex, Alu-Dibond and acrylic glass?
A poster is a print on paper. A canvas is a fabric print stretched on a stretcher frame. Foam board and Forex are lightweight rigid foam boards with a mounted photo. Alu-Dibond is a sturdy aluminium composite board (also for outdoors), and behind acrylic glass colours look especially brilliant.
What resolution does my photo need?
Allow for about 150 dpi at the final size. For 50 × 70 cm that is roughly 3000 × 4200 pixels. For very large sizes 100 dpi is also enough.
Can I also order online?
Yes. You can order photos, posters, canvas prints and foam board on fotos24.net (German-language shop) at the same prices, with delivery. We make Forex, Alu-Dibond and acrylic glass prints in the studio.
What is the Frankfurt motifs gallery?
In our gallery you will find Frankfurt motifs that you can choose free of charge and have printed as a poster, canvas print or board.
