Affordable museum-quality Gallery wrap canvas
and Fine art prints from your own Photos and art
Ready to hang with innovative glassless mountings
We currently print on the following three types of media: Canvas, Fine art paper, and Luster photo paper. The first two have a matte (non-reflecting) surface before coating that displays especially well under almost any lighting conditions. They work very well with our mounting and framing options that do not make use of glass cover. Read more about the specific papers we use from our sources listed in the box. Our protective coating can change surface reflectivity from matte to gloss.
Our most popular option, canvas is especially durable and so is a good choice if you display without protection of glass cover. The texture of the weave works beautifully with large prints. If you have not seen photos or art printed on canvas, you certainly should give this a try. See the texture in the close-up on the right (ruler showing 1 inch was placed on print)...more
We provide 3x3-inch free samples of the three papers we offer and the different coatings. These will be shipped with your first order, or you can request that we send them in advance.
Also called watercolor paper, this choice is great if you want an archival medium and want to see the fine detail in your photo or art. To see fine detail, you also need to have a high resolution image...more
To see really dark black areas and brighter colors in your image, you need a surface that reflects more light than the above two media with matte surface. The luster paper looks like a traditional color print...more
Our customers often regret that they did not order a large enough print. Pay attention to the mount size in the price tables, then get out a tape measure and hold it up to the wall. Check the resolution and sharpness of your digital image by zooming in on your monitor...more
The coatings on our prints protect them from color changes by UV light, from airborne contaminants, and from spills and fingerprints. They also allow you to adjust the reflectivity (matte vs. gloss) characteristics of the paper...more
REDIpix.com specializes in mountings without glass cover to avoid reflections that are common for prints displayed in typical home and office lighting. When you hold small prints in your hand, you can turn them to avoid reflections (you probably do this without thinking). A glossy paper that works well for 4x6 prints may not be what you want for large prints since it is not so easy to avoid reflections from prints hanging on your wall.
It is impossible for us to fully describe or illustrate the range of surface characteristics of our coated papers, so we have an sample package we will send you on request. When observing them, you will quickly see that the glossy ones have deeper blacks and brighter colors. You will also notice that our matte Print Shield spray has deeper blacks than the matte Glamour II roll-on coating. If you display your prints with spot overhead lighting, the glossy prints might work best for you. If you don’t have special lighting, the matte prints will display best.
