I am surprised, but it is only today that I've come across this printing
option: printing directly on glass by FractureME.com
(I am sure at least some other PDMLers have known this option for ages.)
So, I became curious about it.
There are some hyped-up articles about it that only look at the surface,
not at any detail of this option, such as quality, etc.
But I found this blog with a balanced-sounding review of various aspects
of the service and the product:
http://www.konraddwojak.com/blog/2014/4/fracture-glass-prints-review
It is 3-year old now, and the situation could be different now (better or
worse), but it sheds light on what could be a problem.
In addition to that, - when I watched the video ad - right on the
first page of https://fractureme.com/ (It's almost the same video that I
saw this morning on TV), I noticed quite a few annoying reflections from
the glass. I am guessing that those were probably exacerbated by the
lights used for shooting, but it got me thinking about this question:
If we compare these prints directly on the glass surface to a print
mounted behind a glass, does the fact that the image is right on the glass
surface improve the reflection problem, make it worse, or does not affect
it much?
Yet another question I have is about the width of the color gamut and
color accuracy provided by this company.
If someone on this list has tried this type of prints, - I'd be curious to
hear your impression.
Also, - have you seen or tried any other services doing the same type of
printing?
(I googled and found a few, e.g.
