Printing on Glass FractureME?

[John S.]

Does anyone have experience with FractureMe which is a company that prints photos directly onto glass?

I have printed both Metal and Acrylic with Bay Photo and ArtBeat Studios and would like to see if anyone has compared them quality wise to printing on glass. I have a customer interested in these glass prints but I told him that my #1 concern would be damage and breakage long term especially being hung in a high traffic/activity room. Thanks so much, John

I have an 11 x 14 glass print from Fracture, its been hanging on the wall for 3-4 years. Its no more fragile than any print behind glass. I'm 5'8", the print is at eye level so I feel its unlikely for any damage to occur. I like that no frame is needed, keeps costs down and it seems to "float" on the wall. At first I felt it lacked saturation but all of my friends who have viewed it think it is awesome. All my other prints are Cibachrome, not a fair comparison.

Search online for discount coupons, there seems to always be some available. I would not hesitate to order more glass prints.

Thanks for your evaluation. I was thinking of getting some stuff printed on Fracture.

Thanks guys, great to hear that you like it! I will recommend my customer order a small one first to see if he likes the quality. Thanks again, John

Nothing special here. I think that the implication is that by printing on glass there will be extra luminescence due to transmission of light from behind the pigment. However, there is an opaque background so there is no light transmission through the material. The result is a pleasant looking photograph but nothing special. Also, It was considerably more expensive than other services.
