Direct to substrate prints, also known as direct to board prints, can be used in a variety of creative ways. You can print your favorite photos, artwork, or design using this method directly on to Sintra or Infinity Board. Then hang the custom artwork in your home or office. It’s also a wonderfully unconventional way to display graphics, such as point of sale signage in a retail space.
A few direct to substrate ideas for application and uses are:Wondering what a substrate is? Check out the answer in another FAQ.
Direct to Photo Board prints, also known as hard surface prints, are great for both indoor and outdoor environment. The printing process used to create them makes them durable in almost any environment. 
The key is the UV curing ink applied to the rigid surface, either Sintra or Infinity Board, using our high definition large format inkjet printer. Using powerful UV light, the printer then cures the ink. This curing process offers incredible durability, which is why hard surface prints are suitable for outdoor displays without any protective coating. Direct to photo board prints also hold up well to indoor displays that receive a lot of direct sunlight. The perfect choice for any environment!
Direct digital printing to a board is a specialized high-tech printing process where an image is printed directly on a solid rigid medium like wood, plastic, or metal (tin, steel, and aluminum), instead of on vinyl, photo paper or canvas.
Direct to substrate printing refers to printing an image directly on the surface rather than the image printed on HD photo paper, then mounted to the substrate. In the case of direct to Plexiglass or acrylic prints, the substrate is Plexiglass. Substrate, in this instance, refers to the surface being printed on.
Substrate surfaces are so versatile and durable that they are used by professional artists, galleries, museums, framing shops and specialized printers to enhance the artistry and uniqueness of a photo or fine art piece. Professional mounting finished the artwork and makes it display as if its in a gallery.
As the owner of a small startup company, I looked around The Valley and online for professional high quality printed products. Other solutions always seemed to come with a tradeoff: poor customer service, product size constraints, high pricing and volume, or even bad finish quality. Working with Mike and his team I was able to produce the high quality unique products at competitive prices that I was looking for without compromise. Their knowledgeable customer service was phenomenal! We were even able to find solutions to some of the more complex printing and finishing requirements I needed. I’ll definitely be working with them again on future projects!
Lee D., The Art of Lee DavisI recently sold one of my Digital Art pieces and the team at ArtisanHD have the complete package really sorted out! They are a friendly, client orientated and totally professional team who happen to produce spectacular prints as well! Thanks guys for keeping everyone very happy!
Dale B.Fantastic staff, fantastic facilities, second to none product quality output. I feel like you're my secret weapon.
Mike M., Michael Paul PhotoWorksBeautiful print work and customer service of the highest order – you'll be so thrilled with how well you're treated, and how they'll go the extra mile to make sure you're happy and satisfied with the final result.
Denise S.It's rare I find a company today where the customer service, quality and pricing meet most every need I'm looking for. It's even rarer to find those companies where the staff are not only willing to meet those expectations, but surpass them. In a very stressful situation I created for myself, the staff at Artisan went out of their way to help me find a answer to my predicament. Their team worked with me to find a fast solution pulling me out of a situation I knew very few companies would go out of their way to solve. It's those actions I use to choose who I will send my next job. The service was awesome! The quality was awesome! Their staff was Awesome!
Artisan Colour is the most creative, talented and friendly place to print and mind meld. I have been satisfied with every experience I have had with them. Front end to delivery topnotch. So glad I was directed to them.
Simply the best. Great client services, great people, and great products.
Dan M.When I inadvertently shipped a limited edition print to a customer before signing it, Artisan was quick to have it rerouted back to their facility to resolve my issue. When I then showed up during the holiday season –– right before New Year's Eve –– I was met by no less than the company's president, Doug Bondon, who was genuinely happy to assist me and get my order on its way in a matter of minutes. Folks, this is what topnotch, white glove service really looks like. Outstanding!

We went through several vendors looking to print large size posters on 3mm PVC. Artisan was the only one that reproduce the colors and quality of the image provided just as it was on the original file. Deliveries are done on time. Mike responds promptly and friendly to all requests. We are happy to have found a printer we can trust.

I was introduced to Artisan through the company I work for, California Pools, Inc. We have some of our pools printed by them hanging in the office and are gorgeous. When it came time for our annual company banquet, we wanted to display large prints of our cherished vintage images of the beginnings of the company.
We celebrated 65 years in business and that was the theme of the banquet. We had several historical images that we wanted to blow up and showcase. Mike worked with me every step of the way. Mike, Glenna and the team are so professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Do not be intimidated if this is something you have never done before. They walk you through it and help you understand the process.
The Sintra prints are incredible! The quality cannot be beat. And 5 stars does not do their level of customer service justice. These prints hang in our office and are such a hit that our other offices are starting to order their very own! The prints themselves are sleek, modern and stylish. They compliment any home or office in style.
I recommend AristanHD to anyone–beginning photographers, home owners, business professionals, and more. For any work that you cherish, please let this company take care of you, you will not regret it!

My three new prints from Artisan Colour just arrived!
I am so very happy and I keep going back into the front room to look at them. There is so much depth to them! The colors, contrast, and clarity are exactly true to my originals and somehow seeing them printed up like this makes them look even BETTER than the originals!
I picked three distinctly different types of photos to see how they would turn out. These are all printed on 1/2 inch black Gatorboard with museum wall mounts. They are lightweight but sturdy.
My next orders will be on metals and acrylic!
One more thing: I’ve had a few things printed professionally but NONE of them packaged the prints as carefully as Artisan Colour. They put a lot of time and expense into the packing materials they used to ship my three new babies! (All of the packaging is worth keeping and reusing when I need to ship something.) The feeling I got was that something very special was inside this box!
