Our encapsulated prints create a professional, gallery level work of art to compliment any decor. Encapsulation offers total protection for long-lasting, brilliant prints. Think of it as protection for your investment. Whether you plan to display your art or photography in a commercial setting, for resale, or in your home/office, this print combination will not let you down.
Choose from traditional acrylic/plexiglass or TruLife® non-glare acrylic, then choose your backing option.
Dibond® white aluminum encapsulation offers complete protection and rigidity, with a professional finish.
Our 1/8” (3 mm) aluminum Dibond® encapsulation backer consists of a black polyethylene core between 2 aluminum sheets, powder-coated white. This commercial-rated, triple-layered composite material ensures stability and adds protection to your print, all while maintaining a low weight. Ideal for Pro Level, gallery quality presentations in any format.
- Ensures stability and durability
- Makes oversized and panorama formats possible (to avoid warping)
- A timeless look for photos mounted under acrylic / plexiglass
3mm Sintra encapsulation offers high quality, modern prints that are ready to hang in an art gallery, home, or office.
Using 1/8” (3mm) Sintra solid core PVC board as a backer affords the same protection and professional look as Dibond®, but at a lower price point. This product is even lighter than Dibond®, and a fantastic choice for large panoramic pieces where weight may become an issue. You also get to choose between black or white, depending on the edge style you prefer.
- Ensures stability and durability
- Lightweight material is perfect for large, panoramic images
- Two classic side profiles (black or white) for photos mounted under acrylic / plexiglass
Opaque White Vinyl is our most basic encapsulation option, when you want extremely lightweight protection.
- Overall image protection without rigidity
- Vinyl prevents ghosting (when the edges of your Museum Back are visible through the front your print after installation)

I did a lot of research and tried other print labs trying to get that “Peter Lik” look.
In effort to do JUST THAT, I researched what I could about Peter Lik, YouTube video’s, blogs, etc. and it came down to encapsulation and a quality HD archival grade paper.
I found ArtisanHD based on that word encapsulation and I uploaded a shot, had it printed, got the shot back and WOW… an absolute WOW.
Had I not taken the shot myself, I could have pulled it off as a “Professional Photographer”. ;-)
Anyway.. the ingredients are easy.
Fuji Crystal paper
True Life Acrylic Facing
Encapsulation
A good backing (I use 3mm black)
Hanging system (I use the black)

My wife and I happened to come across a gallery in Las Vegas that showcased some incredibly vivid photographs by a certain artist. The photos on display looked as if they were back-lit, however it turns out they weren’t. I spoke to the gentleman at the store and he said they were printed using a special process involving Fuji Flex and Acrylic. So as soon as I got home I searched the net for ways to print some of my own photographs using the same process. That is when I came across Artisan HD. I sent them one of my photos and got the Fuji Flex with the 1/4″ Acrylic Encapsulation to the Dibond (white). It arrived today and it looks absolutely STUNNING! Crazy thing is that the photo looks a lot better than it did on my own computer! Must be some kind of magic they do in the printing process. Even though I do not have the same lighting fixtures they had in the gallery, it still looks great even with normal household lighting.
The turn-around time was great as well. I placed my order on the 9th and it arrived today on the 20th. So just under two weeks.
I highly recommend Artisan HD and I can’t wait to send them some more of my best photographs for printing.
