Check out our newest product and win!
We are very excited to introduce you to our newest product, Wood Prints. Printing your photo directly onto wood creates a piece of art that’s full of character. And thanks to our extensive R&D and legendary Posterjack quality, it will be something you’ll admire for a lifetime.
Five Facts about Posterjack Wood Prints
- They’re made with the finest Canadian birch wood.
- The birch wood we use comes from a certified renewable resource grown specifically to be harvested (so old growth forests are never harmed!).
- Your photo is printed directly onto the wood, so the natural texture and grain is visible. If your photo includes pure white or faint colours, the raw wood will show through, making it truly a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
- Wood Prints are resistant to scratches and chipping.
- Wood Prints include a float mount hanging system and attached picture wire, so you can display your art as soon as you get it.
What Photos Look Good Printed on Wood?
We have yet to see a photo that doesn’t look good as a Wood Print. There are, however, some types of photos that just seem like they were meant to be printed on wood. These include:
- Black and white images. Because the raw wood shows through in areas of a photo where there is white, the contrast between this and the deep blacks of a black and white image creates an effect that looks simply amazing.
- Beach photos. Waterfront photos really stand out when printed on wood, lending a driftwood feel to a Wood Print. It’s as though you’re bringing the beach home with you.
- Forest photos. What’s better than printing a photo of a tree onto a tree? Printing a forest of trees onto one! You can find that perfect forest photo from the Posterjack Art Shop (that is, if you don’t already have one of your own!).
- Textures. Any interior designer will tell you that it’s important to include a mix of patterns and texture in your home décor. Photographing patterns and textures and then applying these images to a textured medium can work really well, adding a sense of dimension and interest to your room.
- Graphic Designs. Create something super impressive with your graphic image. Artists love the way their graphic designs become something unique and organic on wood. Companies can create cool signage and logos with wood prints too!
